Killing Stars (Narration Only)

March 11, 2021 13:50 - 24 minutes - 22.5 MB

When the largest of stars dies, the supernova they produce can outshine a whole galaxy, and potentially sterilize vast swathes of space. Future civilizations will need to be able to prevent or mitigate such events, though some might seek to artificially ignite a nova.
