Astronomers have discovered a white dwarf star, HD 190412 C, that is gradually transforming into a massive diamond. This process takes roughly a quadrillion years, shedding new light on the evolution of stars over time. As the universe is 13.6 billion years old, no star has ever fully crystallized.
Scientists have discovered a white dwarf star, HD 190412 C, that is in the early stages of crystallizing into a celestial diamond. The star's temperature and metal core composition put it in the range of a crystallizing white dwarf, and its age was calculated to be about 4.2 billion years. The star is part of a quadruple star system called HD 190412, and its distance from Earth was determined using data from the Gaia Mission. This is the first known case of a crystallizing white dwarf with a known age, and other similar systems may exist nearby.
Scientists are studying a white dwarf star, HD 190412 C, that appears to be turning into a "cosmic diamond" as it slowly crystallizes. This particular star offers a unique opportunity to study the cooling process of white dwarves and how long it could take before they crystallize into what could resemble a diamond. The star is around 4.2 billion years old, and scientists predict this process could take a quadrillion years.
Scientists have discovered a white dwarf star, HD 190412 C, that is in the process of crystallizing into a celestial diamond. The star is about 104 light-years away in a quadruple star system called HD 190412. The researchers calculated the star's temperature, which puts it into the range of a crystallizing white dwarf. With this information, the team modeled the white dwarf’s cooling over time, confirming the first case of a crystallizing white dwarf with a known age.
