This visually spectacular and instructive film traces the evolution of a star from its birth in the depths of a black nebula to its final extinction. Animated drawings, recreating the beauty and immensity of the universe, are amplified by a dense narrative describing the differing evolutionary processes followed by stars of different masses. The film touches on the creation of elements in the core of stars, red giants, bursters, space-time relationships, and black holes. This animation film will be of particular interest to students of physics, chemistry, astronomy, and animation buffs.
