The life and death of stars

This episode we reveal how stars are born, evolve and die, and discover that a star’s mass determines its ultimate fate.

Plus, we speak to astronomer Emily Cannon about her research into the dimming of Betelgeuse, a red giant star that forms part of the Orion constellation. Could it be about to go supernova?
