Turns out the objects in a supernova star system can take quite the pounding, blasted nubbins could be orbiting stellar remnants with exotic surfaces like our lemon friend from the previous post.

I often drag out the amazing fact that the Andromeda Galaxy, that faint fuzzy blob just off the corner of the Square of Pegasus, is heading straight for us! Of course I continue to tell people it won’t happen for a few billion years yet but a recent study suggests that we are already seeing … Continue reading "Are Andromeda and the Milky Way Already Exchanging Stars?"
