Many things are controlled by cycles, including how in fall we start a new school year and in spring the school year ends. There is also the ‘Cycle of Life’ that begins at birth and ends at death. This webinar will explore how stars are formed and how they ‘die’ and in some cases become black holes.

This webinar is presented by NASA HEAT and delivered by Dr. Sten Odenwald.
