The Sun And Other Stars

"The Sun And Other Stars" explores the fascinating cosmic phenomenon of the star. This release explains how a star is formed, moving from a ball of gas and dust to a bright, fiery object in the cold darkness of space. It also investigates how stars eventually die, either burning themselves out, exploding into impressive supernovas, or becoming something else entirely. What's more, the effect of stars on other cosmic bodies around them is explored, including a look at what might happen to planet Earth when our own sun finally dies off. "The Sun And Other Stars" takes a close look at this interesting scientific occurrence.
