the life of a star

May 26, 2018

Stars are among the most fascinating celestial bodies in the universe. Our own star, the Sun, is essential to life on Earth—but what is it made of, and how did it come to exist? Like living creatures, stars have life cycles, and when they die, the effects can be dramatic for the surrounding solar system.

This presentation will explore the entire life of a star, from birth to death, including discussions of supernovae, neutron stars, white dwarfs, and black holes. Join us to discover what these cosmic phenomena can teach us—and why they matter here on Earth.

Milad Delfan Azari is a PhD candidate and research assistant in the High Energy Astrophysics Group within the Department of Physics at Waseda University.
