Description
Whether stargazing
with the naked eye or observing deep space with the largest telescopes in the
world, humans have a seemingly never-ending fascination with the stars. It's
only in the last century or so that the natures of these distant lights have
been revealed - and it's more incredible than any legend. Astronomer Dr Greg
Brown of Royal Observatory Greenwich takes a short diversion from obsessing
over black holes to illuminate us about the lives of stars - ending in black
holes, naturally.
