First Fridays: Stellar Ending, Death of Stars

Just like people, every star has a distinct life cycle, but not every star’s story ends the same.  Head to Chabot Space & Science Center’s First Friday for a journey on how stars die and all the factors that lead up to their fate. From white dwarfs to supernovae and black holes, discover the science behind each of these exciting endings to the universe’s most iconic objects.

This is your chance to attend a talk by an astronomy expert, see these concepts in action at a Live Science show, create a star life cycle craft to take home and head to Chabot’s historic telescopes to spot one of these bright objects.
