Danny Rambles About Space!!

There's this really cool app called Star Walk that everybody should check out! It uses your location to display all of the stars and constellations near you! It's so fun to use because you can even see things below the horizon since it's transparent. There's a free version I think but the Pro version is worth the buy in my opinion!

Did you know that there's an entire type of star that's theorized to exist but we have no evidence that it actually does?? They're called black dwarfs! They're what's theorized to occur once a white dwarf stops emitting heat. For reference, think of a white dwarf as a burner on a stove! The heat has been turned off already but it will take a bit for the burner to actually cool because of the residual heat. That's what a white dwarf is: it's not actively producing any more heat, it's like a turned off burner!! We think that once a white dwarf runs out of energy it'll turn into a black dwarf. That process would take so long though that none actually EXIST yet!! Isn't that crazy?? The universe is billions of years old but all of the white dwarfs are still producing heat!!
