It's all about transformations of energy which is part of everything in the universe.Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey is a 2014 American science documentary television series. What I had never heard of was the hypernova and the huge star Eta Carinae, whose explosion would wreak havoc on nearby star systems.
The scene from the Australian outback is breathtaking. Of course, the intense gravity will force the outer part to collapse inward, forming a black hole.
This shrinkage leads to a nova and finally a supernova and eventually a pulsar. After the collapse, the planets closest to the sun will be incinerated, leading to the production of other elements and will lead to great density and the sun will become a white dwarf. It then goes into a discussion of the collapse of stars, where core becomes mostly helium as the hydrogen burns off. It took great courage to challenge the idea that the stars contained the same metals that we find on earth when in reality, they are made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. It also looks at Cecilia Payne, one of the greatest of all astronomers. This begins with "Pickering's Harem" a name given in jest to a group of women who catalogued over a million stars.
As was usually the case, women who made major discoveries went unnoticed and under-appreciated.
