Finished spread! The lives of different types of stars, the various ways they give back all they had taken in changed, and the new forms they give rise to! This took me some time to say the least! It's a lively place out there! On to the next spread (finale of this chapter!!) #Nostos #Unflattening 2

a spread for a comics page, black background, with white panel borders and most the drawings white on black. upper left of the spread, a swirl of the start of a star - emanating out from it in radiating arms, a number of different paths in brick-like interconnected panel border shapes. First radiating down and to the left the life of a brown dwarf - which never quite becomes a start. the next branch goes mostly down - a red dwarf which burns longer than the current life of the universe, but the path forks near the bottom, because some of these alternately flare up during their life. the next path is a dwarf star - much like our own - which is stable until it puffs up late in its life, then burst off much of its material to become a white dwarf. Here the path forks - in one branch it lives on as a white dwarf and nebula, in the other, when it has a partner star, it steals material from it and eventually becomes a type 1A supernova. Overlaid a bit on this set of paths and the red dwarf is an example of a binary star system and a six star system. Emanating from the middle of these paths from upper left and going across the spine of the book to the lower right, is a path filled with galaxies - the path loses its border in the middle showing a collection of galaxies. Upper right path is a blue super giant as we move right it goes nova becoming in one forking path a black hole, in another a spinning neutron star - and that forks to either continue or if paired, collide to go supernova and create heavy elements. Middle of right side, molecules formed by chemistry with these atoms forged in stars. new swirls form, and then we see another generation of stars in a grid set of panels and the Planets! formed around them. This is a generational cycle and the text reflects that
