"Zombie Star" Unmasked - Supernova Explosion in the Sky Occurred 1000 Years Ago

A "Zombie Star" has been discovered, emitting x-rays for more than 1000 years, years after its expected stellar death.

The discovery of this "Zombie Star" has left astronomers puzzled as it is emit x-rays for more than 1000 years after its expected stellar death.

The star, which is located in the constellation of Aquila, is a white dwarf, a type of star that has burned through its nuclear fuel and collapsed.

White dwarfs are typically very faint, but this one is emitting X-rays, a type of high-energy radiation. The X-rays are being produced by a process called accretion, which occurs when gas from a companion star falls onto the white dwarf.

The discovery of the "Zombie Star" could help astronomers to better understand the evolution of stars.

Astronomers initially thought white dwarfs were the final stage in the evolution of stars, but the discovery of these "Zombie Stars" suggests that some white dwarfs may continue to evolve long after their expected death.

The discovery of the "Zombie Star" could help astronomers to better understand the evolution of stars and the fate of our own sun.

Astronomers believe that the "Zombie Star" is part of a binary star system, in which two stars orbit around each other.

The companion star is likely a red dwarf, a type of star that is much smaller and cooler than our sun.

The red dwarf is transferring gas to the white dwarf, which is causing the white dwarf to emit X-rays.
