The answer to this question can be found in chapter six of A Wrinkle in Time. Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin learn that a star often dies when it is in battle with the Black Thing, the evil enveloping planets and stars like a dark cloud. The three children witness this personally after staring into the crystal ball of the Happy Medium. The kids see the Black Thing enveloping a star. Suddenly, they see a very bright light cut into the Black Thing and begin to break it apart. As the light spreads, one small part of the Black Thing disappears. After the excitement of the small victory is complete, Mrs. Whatsit is quick to point out that the star loses its life in the battle. In this way, the Black Thing (a tiny bit smaller, but still massive) is able to move to other stars and planets in order to place them all under its power. The children are shown this scene because this time, they are to be that light shining through the Black Thing as they travel to Camazotz to rescue Meg's father.
