Stellar Evolution: Part 2 | Astronomy Education 

presented by Mary Adam, Astronomy Education Officer

Abstract: In this session we continue our discussion of Stellar Evolution with a complete overview of the lives of stars of various masses from birth within gaseous nebulae to their ultimate demise as a white dwarf or supernova explosion.

Bio: Mary Adam is an Astronomy educator at the Adelaide Planetarium and a lecturer at the University of South Australia where she teaches a course called Astrophysics: An Introduction. Mary has studied Astronomy, physics and Indigenous astronomy through the University of Adelaide, the University of South Australia and the ANU, and is currently studying planetary atmospheric science through Leeds University in the UK. Her passion and love of Astronomy started at a young age when she discovered that the majority of stars had Arabic names which was the language spoken at home due to her Phoenician heritage.
