A white dwarf living on the edge

The new record for a white dwarf is interesting but the real gem is the hypothesis of a possible gentle route to become a neutron star.

Yet another new possible means of stellar evolution! Brilliant!

Not sure how "About 97 percent of all stars become white dwarfs." If about 70% of stars are Red Dwarfs!

Well, 100% of red dwarfs become white dwarfs. It just takes a while. ;)

And all this time I didn't know that was the fate of the Red Dwarf!

Thanks for plugging that hole!
