A star is a luminous sphere of plasma held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun. Other stars are visible to the naked eye from Earth during the night, appearing as a multitude of fixed luminous points in the sky due to their immense distance from Earth. Historically, the most prominent stars were grouped into constellations and asterisms, and the brightest stars gained proper names. Extensive catalogues of stars have been assembled by astronomers, which provide standardized star designations.
For at least a portion of its life, a star shines due to thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in its core, releasing energy that traverses the star's interior and then radiates into outer space. Once the hydrogen in the core of a star is nearly exhausted, almost all naturally occurring elements heavier than helium are created by stellar nucleosynthesis during the star's lifetime and, for some stars, by supernova nucleosynthesis when it explodes. Near the end of its life, a star can also contain degenerate matter. Astronomers can determine the mass, age, metallicity (chemical composition), and many other properties of a star by observing its motion through space, luminosity, and spectrum respectively. The total mass of a star is the principal determinant of its evolution and eventual fate. Other characteristics of a star, including diameter and temperature, change over its life, while the star's environment affects its rotation and movement. A plot of the temperature of many stars against their luminosities, known as a Hertzsprung–Russell diagram (H–R diagram), allows the age and evolutionary state of a star to be determined.
Philip Mark Quast (born 30 July 1957) is an Australian actor and singer who has won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical, three times, the most of any actor to date.
He is perhaps best known for his role as Inspector Javert in the stage musical Les Misérables and in the Les Misérables: The Dream Cast in Concert. He is also well known for numerous theater roles, including Georges Seurat in Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George and Emile de Becque in Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific. He is also known for appearances in film and for his roles in television shows such as Ultraviolet, Brides of Christ, and Play School.
Quast, one of three children, was born in 1957 in Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia. His family lived and worked on a turkey farm.
He graduated from the National Institute of Dramatic Art in 1979 and began his career in the resident acting company of the State Theatre Company of South Australia. In the early 80's he appeared in plays such as The Mystery Plays of Wakefield, Three Sisters, On The Wallaby, Pericles, A Month in the Country, As You Like It, Pygmalion, A Hard God, No End of Blame, The Threepenny Opera, Candide, Shark Infested Waters, and the musical adaption of Carmen which he debuted with the Melbourne Theatre Company.

Plot: Willie Norrister is the undefeated champion in the bare knuckle boxing ring. Jonathan 'Stars' Starsmore is an unlicensed doctor of a sort-- the only kind most people in Stoatpamphlet can afford. Ghery is a singer in a bar who dreams of better things. And Hennison is the mysterious man in black. Willie and Stars find themselves on the bad side of the under lord of Stoatpamphlet-- a notorious kingpin by the name of Merrin. Hang on for a wild ride as they navigate assassins, crooked bookies, sky pirates, and the law as they try to survive in the twisted world of Steampunk.

Genres: ,Heat is a heavy head, (?)
Keeps me in my bed.
Push aside the pillow,
The whole room just turned yellow.
Three in the afternoon,
We still haven't moved.
Siren sighs echo,
A pulse through our window.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
Pulling the body to twist,
The thighs, the heels, the hips.
Constellation markings,
Across your body drawings.
Telephone rings,
But we'll just let it sing.
Hide out till tomorrow,
I crawl into your shadow.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, tainted daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
