When a Sun-like star nears the end of its life and eventually engulfing the system’s inner planets. Today podcast will discuss about how astronomers caught one in the act.

Today Awesome Astronomy will taking a look at the colour of stars and why stars appear the colours they do. Also how the mass of a star is related to its temperature, what happens to expanding dying stars and why we don’t see any green or purple stars.
