Star practices recycling

Way out in space sits a white dwarf star in the Ophiuchus constellation. What makes this star special is that went super nova. As a matter of fact it has gone super nova six times in the last 108 years.


What we have here is a case of theft, or recycling, depending on how you look at it. The star borrows material from a neighboring star and uses it to explode about every 20 years.

Police are still deciding if they are going to press charges...
