Episode Details

🌟 Did you know that stars can actually crash into each other? In rare but awe-inspiring events, stars in close binary systems orbit so tightly that they eventually spiral inward and collide, releasing massive energy — sometimes forming supernovae, neutron stars, or even black holes! 💥🌀

In this special episode of Kainaati Chai, astrophysicist Zain Mobeen — a PhD candidate at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Centre in Toruń, Poland — joins Salman Hameed for a deep and accessible conversation about stellar collisions, binary stars, and what these cosmic encounters reveal about the life and death of stars. 🌌🧠

Zain is also passionate about astronomy education and has created an online introductory astronomy course to help learners worldwide explore the cosmos. 📚🚀
