Zombie Star Eating Its Own Planets #space #science #universe
Astronomers have discovered a white dwarf star, WD 0816-310, with a unique metal scar on its surface, evidence of cannibalizing its own planets. This finding, made using the Very Large Telescope in Chile, marks the first time such a feature has been observed, challenging previous theories about the post-life behavior of planetary systems.
The scar, a concentrated patch of planetary material attracted by the star's magnetic field, suggests that planetary systems can remain dynamically active even after a star's death.
This white dwarf, approximately the size of Earth but with the sun's mass, reveals the complex interactions between dead stars and their remaining planetary bodies, offering new insights into the lifecycle of stars and their planets.
