| 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. |

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

New episode every Monday!
What does it mean?
Main sequence stars – are the ones that are actively fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. Their inward gravitational force due to the mass of the star is balanced by the outward thermal pressure generated by nuclear fusion.
Supergiant (star) – is the most massive type of star. A supergiant may have a mass between 10 and 70 times that of the

What does it mean?
Potential energy – The energy that is stored in objects due to is position in a force field. For example, the atoms in a molecular cloud have gravitational potential energy that is turned into heat energy, which is just the energy of the random motions of the particles as the cloud collapses towards its gravitational center.
Ionized – is the term
