Stellar Odyyssey Lecture by Bryan Hill - What is a star? For Astrophysics, the line of “Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are!”, has more meaning than expected. The Sun, the most well-known star is merely one in an endless stream of stars. Once observed, the answer to “what is a star?” becomes more complicated than expected. Join Bryan as we not only take a glimpse at our own star, but also its siblings in the sky. Small or large. Dim or bright. Exotically luring to the wildly strange. Far past to the deep future. Take part in this stellar odyssey.
