Ever wondered how long stars stay "alive"? Well, this video explains everything you need to know to grasp a star's lifetime! If you apply real-world physics, you can actually calculate a star's expected lifetime, so I tried this with the first star from KSP: Kerbol.

!! EDIT !!
Someone has brought it to my attention that I made a mistake: not all stars go "supernova" as this is reserved for stars much bigger than our Sun. Smaller stars will form so-called "planetary nebulas" (look very pretty, look it up).

Where can we find the comment from this person? While I appreciate constructive criticism, like in the Laythe video where I was unclear, the same goes for this video, I do not like people accusing me of either intentionally or unintentionally misleading people.

I should have been more nuanced, I get that. I just started this channel. One of the reasons for this is that it is a way to learn to explain things to people. As I make these videos I try and improve. I make mistakes, confuse people, or forget something, and every time that happens I learn from it.

Sorry about the confusion in the video, I will try better next time!
