we had to watch this video in my astronomy class today to take notes on it and it really gave me an existential crisis, as does everything regarding space does, but thank you regardless

I know we're not here for long but while I'm here I love this place so much, it's so beautiful and mysterious...

[dudeatos]

Great music choice, very... Primordial sounding.

A visual representation has really helped me understand the life cycle of the sun. Thank you so much for helping me study.

6:02 - "the white dwarf will survive for trillions of years before fading to black." What does that mean, exactly? Will it turn into a non-luminescent iron ball? Will all of its mass simply be disbursed through space as gas, leaving no solid core anywhere? What is the *_actual_* final form? Could the non-glowing remnants of a dead star wind up getting caught in the gravitational pull of a living star, and act like a planet?

Crazy thing is, this happens after milky way collided with andromeda !

[youngfrankz]

so you know how when planets collide it gets bigger? if things collided with the sun would it’s life expectancy increase with its size?

Who else is a 10 (or young) kid that’s obsessed with space

We and everything in the universe are all living organisms in this universe and we are all born to die to make way for the new, for the forever existing evolving universe

4:09 that's not red giant future sun but sin next to uy scuti

[SirGaliel]

I can only understand the first part if i imagine a cloud, something like an actual cloud, and a small rock flying through the center of it.

In 5 billion years the sun becomes a rec giant

[CalvinClassic-htow]

So after the 3.5 billion years that would be it for Planet Earth🌍 and it will be basically abandoned right?

[hydrobazooka]

Anyone else think this music sounds like Minecraft music? Lmao

[YALIRAP]

After watching this... M thinking why m living .. life is for no reason..

[zoeplayz-roblox]

Who is. Scared by hearing rumors that the sun will explode

[chriscampbell]

It is amazing seeing the story of Genesis into Revelations

[whiterabbit]

This is just a theory or real fact.?! Did they watch star die before?

[imorakokayakoka]

God will make a way for us human's to live because "He Loves Us All Even If We Had Sin(s) So God will make a way " He will make a way.

[curtsellers]

good illustration but the music is unbearable.
