Astronomers have found a remarkable pair of stars that may finally prove a long-debated theory. Described in the journal Nature Astronomy, this duo offers the strongest evidence yet that type 1a ...
Astronomers have discovered a white dwarf star, or the burnt core of a dead star, that has two completely different faces. One is made of hydrogen, while the other is made of helium.
Scientists have discovered that some "dead" white dwarf stars hide a metaphorical fountain of youth beneath their skin that helps them delay their cooling processes. Skip to main content.
Astronomers have discovered an unusual blue-tinted white dwarf star with two distinct "faces": one side is hydrogen and the other side is helium, according to a new paper published in the journal ...
Our Sun will become a white dwarf in about 7 billion years. At that point, it will no longer produce energy through nuclear fusion, having exhausted its fuel (hydrogen and helium). Just like the ...
Astronomers have discovered a freezing-cold world orbiting within the so-called "forbidden zone" around a dying star in which planets are normally destroyed. The 5.8-billion-year-old white dwarf ...
"If this scenario is correct, this white dwarf is right at the turn-around point, and we may see it get further away." Astronomers plan to keep their eye on this curious black hole, located in ...
Astronomers spotted a potential Earth-size rocky world orbiting a white dwarf, suggesting a future in which our planet outlives its star. By Jonathan O’Callaghan In six billion years the sun ...
