		      "A Star's Life and Death"

A star's life history is predestined from the start: its initial mass
and chemical composition determine its lifetime, behavior, and
eventual demise.  Join us as our speaker provides an overview of the
life cycle of a star, and how we've observed the various stages of
stellar birth and death through telescopes.
