In this volume, the story of how the answer to this fundamental question was unravelled is narrated in an informal style, with emphasis on the underlying physics. Although the foundations of astrophysics were laid down by 1870, and the edifice was sufficiently built up by 1920, the definitive proof of many of the prescient conjectures made in the 1920s and 1930s came to be established less than ten years ago. This book discusses these recent developments in the context of discussing the nature of the stars, their stability and the source of the energy they radiate. 000697341 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (ScienceDirect, viewed Mar. 20, 2014). 000697341 650_0 $$aStars. 000697341 650_0 $$aConstellations. 000697341 650_0 $$aAstronomy. 000697341 830_0 $$aUndergraduate lecture notes in physics. 000697341 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000697341 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-45302-1$$zOnline Access 000697341 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:697341$$pGLOBAL_SET 000697341 980__ $$aEBOOK 000697341 980__ $$aBIB 000697341 982__ $$aEbook 000697341 983__ $$aOnline 000697341 994__ $$a92$$bISE
