Accessible yet thorough 16-minute overview of this fascinating topic, covering: timescale of stellar evolution, mass and fuel. Small stars: size, formation: protons, beta decay, neutron (deuteron), helium. Collapse, red giant, helium flash, the triple-alpha process, white dwarf and planetary nebula. High-mass stars: hotter, brighter, bluer MSSs, fusion up to iron, supernova plus heavier elements. Neutron star or black hole remains. Characteristics of each stage. See the film here or find the fi
