Join us for monthly ☄️SPACE NIGHTS🪐 at Kent Library! October's talk title: Night of the Living Stars: White Dwarfs, Supernovae, and Black Holes Take a journey through the dramatic life cycle of stars, from their birth in vast clouds of gas and dust to the extraordinary objects they leave behind. This public talk will explore how a star’s mass shapes its destiny and why stars like our Sun end as dense white dwarfs, while more massive stars can explode as supernovae and collapse into neutron stars or black holes. Along the way, we’ll uncover how stars forge the elements, light up the universe, and connect directly to the story of our own solar system. This is a community event!
