Stars are some of the most interesting and important objects in the universe. We even owe our very existence to them. In this episode we'll learn how important stars are to life on Earth and how the atoms that make up our planet, and even our own bodies, were forged in the cores and explosive deaths of high mass stars. We'll learn the amazing things that occur when stars die, from red giants to neutron stars and black holes. Just wait until you see how much one teaspoon of neutron star weighs - it's mind-blowing!
Join me and Lizzy on an exciting journey into space and kickstart your child’s curiosity about the cosmos!
