A new analysis of white dwarf stars involving a ¹û¶³´«Ã½ astronomer supports their role as a key source of carbon, an element crucial to all life, in the Milky Way and other galaxies.

The surviving core of a gas giant has been discovered orbiting a distant star by ¹û¶³´«Ã½ astronomers, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the interior of a planet. The team from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s Department of Physics reports the discovery today (1 July) in the journal Nature, and is thought to be the first time the exposed core of a planet has been observed.
