"Look at the sky, what do you see? The eternal stars?"

A Mini-Production

In Stellar Evolution the audience soon learns that stars are not eternal, that like all living things, they have a beginning and an end.

The program begins with an examination of the late autumn, early winter sky, where variable stars such as Delta Cephei, Mira, and T Tauri, are examined.

Exploration of M-45, The Pleiades and M-1, the Crab Nebula reveal the existence of young stars being born and old stars dying.

The show then demonstrates how stars are formed, and their eventual ultimate fate, which is dependent upon one thing! Their mass.

Stellar Evolution illustrates by the use of pin-registered dissolves, what happens in the interiors of stars according to Chandrasekhar's Nobel Prize winning work which includes shell burning and nucleosynthesis. Stellar Evolution explains all of this in an entertaining way using understandable language.

The program ends with the comment,

"Look at the stars, what do you see now?"
