Human Elements
Watching A Star Die
3/17/2020 | 4m 36sVideo has Closed Captions
An astronomer studies the moment a star dies and begins to transform into a black hole.
Emily Levesque studies the moment of mystery when a star dies — the millisecond when its bright light explodes into a supernova or collapses into a black hole. By peeking through high-powered telescopes and analyzing reams of data, Emily can go back in time to discover what happened in the universe millions of years ago.
