When we look up at night and view the stars, everything we see is shinning because of distant nuclear fusion.

The objects that are of moderate energy, like our sun or most of the stars that we see in the night sky with the naked eye, are objects in which relatively moderate energy processes are taking place.

The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth.

Here's a question we all ask ourselves at least once when we're young: Where does that starlight come from? It's been there before I was born, and before my grandmother, and her grandmother were born. So just how far is that star from Earth?

It's hard to know which stars in the sky will turn into black holes. And which ones will open up worm holes into entire new universes.

All the stars all the galaxies are in the same spot night after night after night. And Planet Nine, when we see it, will slowly move across the sky.

The eternal stars shine out again, so soon as it is dark enough.
