It has been known for a long time that stars are similar to our Sun. The chemical composition of this gas began to be determined in 1860. But it was only in 1810 that they were shown to be made of an incandescent gas.
How stars form from interstellar matter and how they evolve and die was understood only recently, with our knowledge still incomplete. In 1940, it was demonstrated that the energy radiated by the stars is of thermonuclear origin. It was also realized recently that close double stars present a wide variety of extraordinary phenomena, which are far from being completely explored.This book explains all these aspects, and also discusses how the evolution of stars determine that of galaxies.
The most interesting observations are illustrated by spectacular images, while the theory is explained as simply as possible, without however avoiding some mathematical or physical
