Pape/Danforth Library: The Birth, Life, and Bizarre Death of Stars
Dr. John Percy, Professor Emeritus, Astronomy & Astrophysics, University of Toronto
We owe our existence to the sun and stars. The atoms in our body are created by stars. The sun's energy makes life possible. When the sun and stars "burn out," they produce bizarre remnants called white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes.
