Chapter 13: The Death of Stars
... end. Here you will learn how stars die, but as you follow the story you will see how astronomers have tested their theories against evidence to answer four essential questions: • How will the sun die? • Why are there so many white dwarf stellar remnants? • What happens if an evolving star is in a bi ...
