We trace the Sun's Phases of Life and detail what we know about Stellar Evolution. We watch the Sun as it finishes its Main Sequence life, becoming a Red Giant. At the end of this cycle, it will make a Planetary Nebula, and finish with a Degenerate Matter White Dwarf. I also talk about tiny stars: the Red Dwarfs. The Sun will live and die. What is the Sun's fate and the fate of stars with lower mass than the Sun?
