Description

From the quiet beginnings in cosmic clouds to the explosive end of a supernova, stars live incredible lives that shape the universe as we know it. In this episode, we explore how stars are born in massive nebulae, how they burn through their nuclear fuel, and what determines whether they die as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. Join us as we journey through billions of years of stellar evolution to uncover how these celestial giants create the very elements that make up planets—and life itself.
