A star more than 100 light years away from Earth is slowly but surely turning into a diamond. Scientists from the UK, Canada, the USA and Australia are reporting the news.
The white dwarf is located 104 light years from our planet. The star is believed to have been around for 4.2 billion years, but astronomers can’t establish its exact age because the core is in the process of crystallisation.
A star loses its outer shell during its transformation into a white dwarf. Its mass decreases and when it runs out of fuel, the star may turn into a black hole. During the crystallisation process, the temperature drops due to a lack of additional energy sources.
