1000-Year-Old Cosmic Rainbow: Dead Star Defies Science with Immense Energy!

  • A glowing 'rainbow' or nebula, a 'Bow Shock', has been observed around the white dwarf RXJ0528+2838, 731 light-years away.
  • This dead star, typically quiescent, is emitting immense energy continuously for 1000 years without an energy-generating disk.
  • Scientists at Durham University are astonished as this phenomenon challenges all previous theories about dead stars.
  • The Very Large Telescope (VLT) confirmed layers of hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen around the star, indicating a steady energy flow.
  • A powerful magnetic field is hypothesized to be the 'mystery engine' pulling matter directly onto the star, creating the 'Bow Shock'.

Why It Matters: A dead star's 1000-year energy emission challenges astrophysics, hinting at an unknown cosmic mechanism.
