White Dwarfs & Planetary Nebulae: Crash Course Astronomy #30

  • Today Phil follows up last week’s look at the death of low mass stars with what comes next: a white dwarf. White dwarfs are incredibly hot and dense objects roughly the size of Earth. They also can form planetary nebulae: huge, intricately detailed objects created when the wind blown from the dying stars is lit up by the central white dwarf. They only last a few millennia. The Sun probably won’t form one, but higher mass stars do.

    This is my favourite crash course series. Mainly due to Phil. I don't know, just the sheer amount of wonder and passion that he puts into this, makes appreciate this series on a whole other level than the others. Not to mention that he is talking about some of the most beautiful, powerful and eventful in... ever kinda helps.

    A few years ago, I took an intro astronomy class taught by a respected astrophysicist in the community. She was incredibly smart, but I didn’t really learn much, and the class definitely wasn’t enjoyable. If I had been taught by Phil, it would’ve been my favorite class during my undergrad thus far. He’s so passionate and fascinated by this stuff, and rightly so, because it’s absolutely INSANE. Love this series. 10/10. It makes me want to take more astronomy courses.

  • @doctortequila5268

    I love the way Phil presents this stuff. Not only does he make all the information easily digestible (with beautiful NASA photos), he also makes it relatable on our tiny, tiny level by talking about how these far-flung things in space have interacted with his own life in some way. Plus, I absolutely love all the silly faces, reactions, and truely awful jokes he puts in the episodes. Fantastic series!
