🪐 The star ZTF J1901+1458, located around 135 million light-years away in the constellation Aquila, is one of the most compact white dwarfs ever discovered—so small and dense that it's nearly the size of the Moon but weighs more than our Sun. This unusual star is so tightly packed that its matter is squeezed to extremes, challenging our understanding of how white dwarfs form and survive without collapsing into a neutron star or exploding as a supernova. ✨ #unusualstars⚡#compactstars⚡#astronomy⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels
