PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- If we could watch for millions of years, we would witness the stars undergo an astonishing sequence of changes. Thanks to a new generation of telescopes, the never-ending story of Stellar Evolution is told in spectacular detail. Telescopic ultrasound -- a camera sensitive to infrared light -- monitors prenatal suns incubating inside clouds of hydrogen gas and newborn protostars emitting ultraviolet energy. What happens to stars after they die? From supernova explosions to black holes, the demise of stars eventually leads to new suns, new planets and possibly new life. Part of the multivolume Cosmic Odyssey Video Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"...exceptional...Well narrated...concepts and theories are explained with dazzling graphics, simulations, animations and occasional NASA supplied real visual data...The lure of cosmic mysteries in this excellent series is compelling and thought-provoking. This series will be very useful for high school astronomy and physics courses..."- School Library Journal (Sept 2003)
"This series would be a great addition to the astronomy classroom. The videos will pique the interest of students and encourage new approaches to the subject. They are a great introduction and should provide new ideas to explore. Highly recommended."- Library Media Connection (Jan 2004)
