Prof. Andrew West, Dept of Astronomy, Boston University. Dr. West explains the great importance of Red Dwarfs (M Dwarfs), the smallest and also most numerous stars in the Milky Way galaxy. These stars appear to live forever (unlike our own sun), and they are also likely hosts to planetary systems. A fascinating discussion of a "hot" topic in astronomy.
