How might the star Altair have formed? Is it part of a cluster?

How might your star have formed? Is it part of a cluster? When did it probably form? What is the projected lifetime of the star? How old is it now most likely? What will its end state be?How might the star Altair have formed? Is it part of a cluster?Hi. Most stars do form as part of a cluster. The Sun is no exception. A cluster that is weakly bound will have most of its stars migrate (or be ejected) from the cluster. In our case this looks like it happened about 5 or so billion years ago. Our Sun has an anticipated life time of about 10 billion years. I think after it turns into a red giant for a while it will become a white dwarf.
