Listener Questions: Stars, the Universe, and Deep Time ✨ ⭐

About this episode

Listeners ask questions about stars, the universe, and deep time in this episode.

In this episode, four  listeners ask four of the biggest questions in astronomy. We explore how the universe went from total darkness to its first stars, what a light-year really means, and what eventually happens to our sun. Grown-ups: we value your feedback. Our email and message link are in the episode notes—please send us your child’s questions and thoughts. Sleep Tight!,  Sheryl & Clark ❤️👂📖 --- ✨ Want more science and fewer interruptions?
