Astronomy Cast Ep. 156: Famous Stars

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From September 21, 2009. This week we’re going to talk about famous stars. But not those boring human ones you read about in People magazine. No. We’re talking about those hot balls of plasma across the distant Universe. The close ones, the bright ones, the massive ones, the giant ones. The explodey ones. Let’s get to know some famous stars.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
