Abstract
We revisit Hawking's original derivation of the evaporation process in a non-stationary spacetime, presenting it in a clear and pedagogical manner, with a focus on the spherical collapse of a star into a black hole. Our analysis highlights the underlying assumptions in the calculations, clarifying their physical significance, potential implications, and the limitations of this approach.
