| Description: | Epo’s Chronicles is a web comic series that takes place in the distant future, and is about a sentient spaceship called Epo and its humanoid companion, Alkina. They wake up in the middle of space after some incident that has caused Alkina to loose her memory and Epo’s database to be damaged such that Epo cannot retrieve information from it at will. They agree to travel the galaxy in hopes of finding their origins and discovering what had happened to them. |

Eposode 62: Epo and Alkina reunited!
New episode every Monday! Dude, where’s my science? In the past few episodes, we have talked about stellar formation, listing the most common types of stars that exist. However, these are only general categories for the many different types of stars that can be found in the universe. This Wikipedia article on stellar classification lists types of stars based on their temperature. If

Eposode 61: Brown dwarves
New episode every Monday! What does it mean? Brown dwarf – are cosmic objects that are too small to be stars and too large to be planets. They have the same composition as stars but because of their low mass are unable to sustain nuclear fusion (if they ever manage to get fusion started) at their cores. Is that all?

Eposode 60: Dwarf stars
New episode every Monday! What does it mean? Dwarf (star) – Is a low-mass main sequence star that is not quite as luminous or hot as more massive stars. Because of their low masses these types of stars can steadily burn (fuse) hydrogen for several billions of years. Our own Sun is a dwarf star. Red Giant – At the end of its life, a dwarf star will turn into a red giant, growing to several ti

IYA Special Edition – Crab Nebula
New episode every Monday! What does it mean? Supernova – The explosion of a star near the end of its lifetime, as it runs out of nuclear fuel in its core. Only massive stars can become supernovae. Supernova explosions are so bright they can be easily observed in other galaxies. Pulsar – is a spinning neutron star with a very strong magnetic field, which emits a beam of electromagnetic radia

Eposode 59: Neutron stars and pulsars
New episode every Monday! What does it mean? Neutron star – is the collapsed core, made up mostly of neutrons, of a supermassive star that was not large enough to form a black hole. It has a very small size ( a diameter about the same size as a small city) but a very large mass (at least 1.4 times the mass of our Sun). Pulsar – is a spinning neutron star with a very strong magnetic field, wh
