  1. Before this, we thought 'Neutron Star' was just a great name for a prog band! If this mind-blowing explanation about some of the strange things floating around our Universe has whet your appetite for more of the same, check out the full talk this clip is from: 'The Universe Beyond Visible Light' https://youtu.be/Vf1C2-a8-10

  7. Sooooo fascinating!! I love it!💜🙌 I just wonder what does it mean the term "end of life" for a star? What happens with energy in some particular moment that we call it end or death?

  10. The "it could go supernova tomorrow or in ten thousand years" always makes me wonder how far away it is – and whether it's already blown up, but the light from the event simply hasn't arrived here yet. I'm going to have to go and google how many light years away Betelgeuse is… Ah, it's only 642.5 light years away – so is probably still there for now 🙂

  14. Surprisingly not a gender quota woman (I think. But you never know for sure, except if she is older than feminism, then it is sure she achieved it herself). Refreshing!

  15. All it takes to get a degree is being able to regurgitate what is taught. Supernovas are science fiction theory. You would have know what to do homework on to figure out why it's a science fiction theory. What is a star for example? It's a large mass of matter. How does it generate light and heat? Immense gravity. Star is just one gigantic ball of lava. Why can't a star explode? Immense gravity, incomprehensibly immense gravity. If you could comprehend how much gravity then you would be able understand why star don't explode. The most it can do is eruptions and flares. Even if it could explode all that would remain is dirt and gas. How much did you spend on your degree? And they never even taught you what a star is. Maybe you should ask for your money back.
