太陽之死 – 行星狀星雲的奇妙世界


Academic Talk:- Death of a Sun: the Wonderful World of Planetary Nebulae 
 
Stars like the Sun die in beauty. The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion of hydrogen. In about 5 billion years from now, when the available hydrogen is used up, it will first expand to become a red giant, and finally eject over half its mass into space. The ejecta forms a planetary nebula. We know of about 3000 such planetary nebulae currently in the Milky Way. They show many different shapes and intricate structures, including elliptical nebulae, butterflies, and rings - very few are just round. In this talk, the speaker will talk about how planetary nebulae form and evolve, and what we think lies in store for our own star.
