Seven Ages of Starlight. Episode 1
Description
This is the epic story of the stars, and how discovering their tale has transformed our own understanding of the universe. This first episode shows how modern astronomy has revealed that stars experience a life cycle that begins with birth. We visit the Joint European Torus, a major physics project based in Oxfordshire, to learn more about the process of hydrogen fusion that brings stars to life. Then it's time to examine our most well known star, the sun. Once its hydrogen runs out, it will move into the next phase of its life, as a Red Giant. Ultimately, it will end up as a burnt out cinder called a White Dwarf.
