What is a star made of?

Look up at the night sky! Have you ever wondered what those tiny, twinkling lights actually are? Join Mira and Finn on a wild cosmic journey to uncover the secret lives of stars! You'll discover that our Sun is actually a giant, roaring fireball reaching a mind-blowing 27 million degrees Fahrenheit at its core. But what is it made of? Hint: It's not fire! Learn how hydrogen and helium crash together in an explosive process called nuclear fusion to create blinding light. We'll solve the mystery of why stars seem to twinkle and flicker—it’s actually Earth's wavy air playing tricks on your eyes! Then, prepare to have your mind blown by the terrifying Red Hypergiant star, Stephenson 2-18, which is so massively huge it could swallow up the entire planet Saturn! Finally, find out what happens when giant stars run out of fuel and blast across the galaxy in a spectacular supernova. You'll even learn a crazy, true secret: you are made of star-stuff, and the iron in your very own blood was made inside an exploding star billions of years ago! Get ready to launch into this amazing space adventure!
