The evidence suggested that billions of tons of matter from a massive star had shrunk to nothing.So what we are left with here is this mind-boggling idea of mass contained in zero volume, and that just make your head spin, but that's what we call a b

We may never know for sure whether there is life elsewhere. But we do know a lot about where we came from. And thats because weve learned so much about things here on earth from looking far out into space. They discover that stars are not turned out

Once the fusion stops, the whole thing collapses under its own weight to form a white dwarf, so you got this very small blob which is incredibly dense, it's going to be something like a million times denser than it started off, so dense in fact that
