Perimeter Institute: The weirdest stars in the universe

Join astronomer Emily Levesque on a tour of strange stellar phenomena

Why would a star only pretend to explode? Can you hide one star inside another? And how big can a star get? (Spoiler alert: a lot bigger than our sun).

Astronomer Emily Levesque delved into these questions during a lecture at the Perimeter Institute at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 7.

The Perimeter Institute’s public lectures are usually held once a month. The entire 2017–18 series is streamed on TVO.org.
