  • Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust: The Fate of Stars Like the Sun
    Greg Sloan of the Space Telescope Science Institute
    Our Sun, though seemingly eternal, is about halfway through its roughly 10-billion-year lifespan. What will happen when the Sun dies? Not only will the answer be important to whoever inhabits Earth in a few billion years, it is important to astronomers today. Quiet stars like the Sun are many times more numerous than large stars and play a major role in how galaxies develop. Importantly, how these stars die determines when life can first form in the galaxy.
    Host: Dr. Frank Summers
    Recorded live on Tuesday, August 7 at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.

    When ever I tire of social / political issues I always come back to the sciences and its discoveries.

    I didn't clearly hear the explanation. What is that blue cube everyone keeps passing around ?
    I enjoyed this lecture a lot.

    Great lecture very informative. At 22:0 there seems one typoerror. For Ne the atomic number is 10 , not 20.

      Nuclear number is 20 ,, that is the icosihedron

    The last slide with the nitrogenous aromatics... need a connection with stellar N generation while most of the talk was on O and C.

    can it be possible that mars dust storms is effected by our solar system? As mars travel around its orbit around the sun it passes throught space that have left over dust, and therefor teh dust gathers around mars and makes the storm. The dust in the orbit can itself have come from mars in the past when it got hit to form those hugh mpact craters.

      That's an imaginative idea, but the numbers don't work out. The amount of dust in the solar system is far too small for Mars to accumulate enough for a planet wide dust storm. The main reason that dust storms spread across the planet is the low density atmosphere (1/100th that of Earth). Local storms can grow to become global disturbances. Mars' surface has plenty of dust to kick up, and it does so regularly - about one global dust storm a decade.
