Innovation and Research
Some stars age at a different rate
Some White Dwarf stars retain a thin layer of hydrogen that allows them to produce energy for a longer period of time and thus extend the final stage of their life. The discovery was made by a research team led by scientists from the University of Bologna and the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF)
