Astronomers have discovered one of the rarest stars in our galaxy

It is the second representative of a white dwarf pulsar after AR Scorpii, which was found in 2016.

A team of scientists from the University of Warwick has discovered a rare white dwarf pulsar called J1912-4410. Space reported it.

White dwarfs form when stars with masses similar to the Sun run out of nuclear fuel and their cores can no longer withstand gravitational collapse.

During the destruction of the stellar core, the star sheds its outer shell, which expands and dissipates, leaving a white dwarf.

So, a recently discovered star is located at a distance of about 773 light years and has about the same mass as the Sun, but resembles the Earth in size. At the same time, it rotates on its axis about 300 times faster than our planet. J1912-4410’s temperature is relatively low, indicating its age.

For example, on average, the temperature of white dwarfs can reach 100 thousand degrees, and this star has a temperature of 13 thousand degrees Celsius.

Scientists noted that the new discovery could help study the evolution of stars, and also help to understand how rare objects in space create powerful magnetic fields.

It was previously reported that NASA’s Juno probe detected lightning on Jupiter, giving scientists a better understanding and study of the planet’s atmospheric phenomena.
