Astronomers have identified a 3 billion-year-old white dwarf actively consuming material from a nearby planetary system. This discovery challenges our understanding of stellar remnants, suggesting long-term dynamics in planetary systems even after billions of years.
Astronomers at the University of Warwick have found a unique binary star system of two white dwarfs that are on a collision course, set to explode in a spectacular Type 1a supernova in 23 billion years. This event will be incredibly luminous, shining ten times brighter than the moon!
