"Unraveling the Magnetic Mystery of the Enigmatic 'Dragon's Egg' Star"
Astronomers have solved the mystery of the enigmatic 'Dragon's Egg' star system, finding that two of the original three stars merged violently, creating the unique nebula and two mismatched stars. The larger star's unexpected magnetic field led researchers to analyze the system, revealing the stars' different ages and unusual chemical composition. This evidence supports the theory that stellar mergers produce magnetic fields around massive stars, shedding light on the cosmic rarity of such phenomena.
