NASA | Afterschool Universe: Stellar Fusion Demonstration

The video explains how stars fuse elements in their cores, starting with hydrogen fusion into helium. As stars evolve, they fuse helium into carbon, then carbon and helium into oxygen, and finally oxygen and helium into neon. This process continues until iron is formed, at which point fusion requires energy input, marking the end of the star's lifecycle.
