STEAM Program: The Life of Stars, from Birth to Black Holes
by James Kirtley
Wednesday, September 17
FREE Presentation at 6 pm
Room B, Vigo County Public Library
680 Poplar St., Terre Haute

Stars come in a fascinating variety of colors and sizes, and like us, each star goes through a lifecycle. In this talk, we will learn about the birth, life, and death of stars, and in the process discover where many of the elements in our bodies came from. We are truly the stuff of stars.

We will cover:
How stars are born, and why some potential stars never quite make it
What provides the energy inside a star
The different phases of a star's life
How stars die, and what becomes of them after they "go out"
