DESCRIPTION:The story of the birth and death of stars is the story of the 
 battle of matter against the force of gravity and the story of the origin 
 of all the elements\, apart from hydrogen and helium\, which were formed w
 ithin a few minutes after the Big Bang. Stars like our Sun will first fry 
 their planets before slowly fading away. More massive stars will end their
  lives in supernova explosions\, scattering newly created heavy elements i
 nto space\, ready to form the next generation of stars.\n\nDr Robin Catchp
 ole\, ex Senior Astronomer at the Royal Observatory\, Greenwich\, is now a
 t the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge. His research career was spent a
 t Greenwich and at various observatories in South Africa. His research int

 e structure of our galaxy.\n\nFree admission. Suitable for GCSE students.
