Summary
"The birth of a star is a spectacular event, as gravity brings together massive molecular clouds over millions of years to create these enormous galactic furnaces. The "Life and death of a star" compresses the events of billions of years into minutes, using computer imagery to show the lifespan of these massive, heavenly fireballs as they expand, contract, and finally burn out, often in stunning supernova explosions."--Back of jacket
