In this profusely illustrated, non-technical presentation, you will learn about some of the strangest, most extreme objects in the universe.

Showtime: 3:00pm
The stars in the night sky seem unchanging and eternal, and have remained the same for the history of human civilization. However, over millions and billions of years, new stars are born, live out their long lives, and eventually die in a blaze of glory. In this show, we will be exploring the lives of stars by visiting stellar nurseries, supernova remnants and much more!
