Before starting the scientific case we had a short talk about stellar evolution and how it is represented in the HR diagram. During the scientific case, the students had to discuss between them the evolution of a star similar to our sun in the diagram. Also, our monitor gave them examples or real objetcs observables in our galaxy which correspond with the different evolution steps like planetary nebulae, star clusters or protoplanetary rings.
