With the advent of a new generation of radioactive beam facilities and advances in our theoretical understanding of nuclei far from stability we can now begin to delineate the nuclear processes that govern stellar explosions. These explosions include supernovae, novae, and X-ray bursts and are intimately related with fundamental questions of the origin and fate of the elements. I will discuss the close relation between nuclear structure far from stability and the many open questions in nuclear astrophysics concerning stellar explosions. This discussions will be based on our latest calculations on the rp process, neutron star crust processes and new astrophysical processes occuring in superbursts. I will review our current knowledge of the underlying nuclear physics, and the prospects of advances using present and future radioactive beam facilities. Recent experimental data from experiments at GSI and the NSCL will be discussed as well.
