We've learned how stars form, and we've gone over some different types of stars, like main sequence stars, red giants, and white dwarfs. But a star will move between these categories over its lifetime. How does that happen, exactly? And what is leftover when a star dies? A white dwarf? A neutron star? A black hole? What are these objects? Let's answer all of these questions and more by analyzing the life cycle of a few different star types!

That's why they can't accept the sun, moon and stars are millions and billions of miles away... It would make them feel a lot less special... They can't handle their own insignificance! So they keep telling themselves how special and important they are... I'm not familiar with psychology, but it could be some sort "defense mechanism" to avoid having an existential crysis.

@princeofcupspoc9073 4 года назад

Pretty good. Of course there were a few over-simplifications, which make it easier to understand for the people that can't do the math. For example, proton + electron --> neutron is not so much the electron being swallowed by the proton, as it is the energy of the electron being used to flip a quark in the proton, via the weak force. Well done on the stellar burning cycle yielding said elements. And Chandra was a terrible driver. I almost hit his car getting off Lake Shore Drive on the way to school. I think it was a black Mercedes. I love the story of his work on stellar nucleosynthesis. As he was mapping stellar spectra (every nuclear reaction has a distinct spectra), there was one spectra that didn't match up with any of the known reaction. Not one to be wrong, since he was sure that reaction had to be there, he dug up the original nuclear physics paper, and found a mathematical error. Correcting the math, the reaction fell perfectly in place. So much for that student's thesis defense comity. Oh the embarrassment!
