Birth
The Hubble telescope has sent back some beautiful images of nebulae - stunning spacescapes filled with bright gas clouds that stretch for millions of miles. These areas are the stellar nurseries of space - from deep inside these placid panoramas, stars explode into life. Learn how stars are made in Birth.
Death
In Death you can learn about the cataclysmic events that herald the end of a star's life. Whether shrinking to become a white dwarf or imploding to form a black hole, the death of a star is a dramatic spectacle.
Star Types
From exploding supernovae as bright as a whole galaxy, to supersonic pulsars spinning hundreds of times a second, there's a cosmic zoo of stars out there. Explore the the stellar neighbourhood with Star Types.
Inside Stars
All the chemicals in your body, from the calcium in your bones to the zinc in your hair, were originally forged in the fiery furnaces inside stars. Over the past 12 billion years, these chemicals have passed through the cores of at least two stars before settling inside you. Learn more about cosmic recycling in Stellar Soup.
Why Stars Twinkle
Starlight can take billions of years to filter down to Earth from the furthest reaches of the Universe. With it arrives a plethora of information about the star's size, weight, chemical composition and age. Find out why a star's twinkle holds the clue to its cosmic character.
