What is a White Dwarf?
A white dwarf is a small, dense star that represents the final evolutionary state of stars whose mass is not high enough to become a neutron star or black hole. They are incredibly dense; a white dwarf's mass is comparable to that of the Sun, while its volume is more similar to Earth.
The Life Cycle of a Star
Stars like our Sun eventually exhaust their nuclear fuel. When this happens, they go through a red giant phase before shedding their outer layers to create a planetary nebula. The remaining core becomes a white dwarf.
The Connection with Froges
On the lighter side of the cosmos, froges have no direct connection with white dwarfs, but imagine if there were galactic froges hopping from star to star through the vast universe! Feel the joy of discovery and imagination 🐸✨🔭
