Abstract

I discuss a few selected topics on nucleosynthesis and nucleo-cosmochronology in faint, if not totally illusory, hopes of helping to gain a clear perspective of the future astronuclear physics.First I illustrate a few puzzles that remain to be solved by observational astronomy,theoretical astrophysics, and some nuclear physics experiments soas to promote the understanding of nucleosynthesis from the early universe till to-day.Next I pick a few exemplifying cases of difficult problems to which the study of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis is facing up.Finally I make an attempt of putting nucleo-cosmochronology in perspective. Admittedly, some of my comments will be "politically incorrect".
