This breakthrough offers new insights on an extreme phase of stellar evolution, and one of the biggest ... very few have the age constraints necessary to fully map their evolutionary history.

Here’s how it works. The ultimate stage of stellar evolution for many stars is a black dwarf. Because they emit no heat or light, these objects would be a challenge to detect if they existed today.

These enigmatic objects, observed in the open cluster M67, challenge our knowledge of stellar evolution and provide fresh insights into the dynamics of multiple star systems. To appreciate the ...
