Astoundingly, there are at least 100 billion stars in our galaxy and an estimated two trilliongalaxies in our visible universe.Understanding the birth, life, and death of stars is key to a knowledge of astronomy.
40 Ways to Know a Star offers forty short essays that explore everything from the Milky Way to planetary nebulae, from how a star is born to the colors of stars, each enhanced by a color illustration or graphic image.
