Publisher's summary

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered about the stars? What are they made of? How do they form? And what happens to them when they die?

You'll learn the answers to these questions and more in my audiobook.

No boring lectures, just a fun story authored by an astrophile. Over the next 60 minutes, you’ll enjoy stellar evolution up close. We do our best to capture the incredible birth of stars, the stages of their life, and how their death is the beginning of something new.

There’s magic in watching stars go from creation to chaotic endings. A beautiful and difficult dance to new beginnings.

Starring an entire catalog of stars: Variable stars, Neutron stars, black dwarfs, Binary stars, brown dwarfs, T Tauri Stars, Hypergiants, Protostars, Main-sequence stars, Supergiants, Star clusters, and our very own superstar, the Sun!

Everywhere light goes, It has found that darkness is already there. Darkness is the natural state of the universe. For a star to be born, it takes an astounding number of possibilities to become a reality. From this unlikely alignment, we now have trillions of stars! Thankfully stars would progress to give us light, life, and an observable universe.

In this easy-to-understand yet informative exploration of stars, you will discover updated information about stars, such as:

  • How to define a star
  • What makes a star
  • The different sizes of stars
  • Why do stars have different colors
  • The difference between the OBAFGKM class stars
  • Why do white, black, red, and brown dwarfs exist
  • What the life cycle of a star looks like
  • And more!

No one knows how many stars exist, but we will tour a handful of the most famous in our known universe. Sit back and enjoy the world of outer space that spreads before you. Each constellation and luminary has a story that you won’t want to miss!

Very Informative and Detailed

This tells the different stages of a stars life, it’s classification by color, how a star is created and a black hole. I learned that our sun is in the beginning of the middle of its life and will last several billion more years before it explodes. But as it gets older it gets hotter. That is not going to help global warming problems, The book also tells what forms a star, the kinds of stars in sky and how to see various ones.. Iif you have any interest in stars you should listen to this book, I recommend it.

Starry, starry night!

I learned so much about the various types of stars, their life cycles, and what happens when they die. The author uses easy-to-understand language, but still packed in details that truly brought the universe to life. While I have looked up at the night sky many times, this audiobook gave me a whole new appreciation for the stars that shine in it. The author's enthusiasm and passion for the topic is evident throughout and makes the listen thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about stars and gaining a deeper sense of wonder about the universe.

Looking Up

There is a free gift included. With all the recent talk of UFOs, I've been increasingly interested in what goes on out there. There are so many great sound effects! Good book for a family activity. The narrator is fun.

Star facts

Take a short journey into exploring the stars with this awesome narration. You can learn about the stages and types of stars. We are always told about black holes and red giants but when all the types were explained, I was delighted to learn our Sun was actually a yellow dwarf. It completely made sense and seems obvious now. You will learn about stars in specific constellations and binary stars. There is a lot to learn in this easy listen.

interesting listen.

I've been getting deeper and deeper into examining our existence on this floating rock of a space station that we live on. This is an intriguing listen with lots of information on what all those millions of sparkling lights are in the sky. It's a good start for anyone interested in space and how our all works out there. I'll be listening to this many more times as I explain existence to my kids as life continues.
