A bizarre "hybrid" star has been found !

I find this totally amazing! I love it when a Professor or scientist make predictions so long ago and with the technology today to make these predictions come true.

It has been almost 40 years since Professor Kip Thorne and Dr Anna Zytkow first suggested it was possible for a red giant and a neutron star to merge. Now this theoretical, almost mythical, chimera has been found.

I like this quote:

“I don't know what this is, but I know that I like it!

That's what I love about the cosmos. As soon as we think we have a grasp on things, it throws us a curve ball.

Nice find, I'm impressed that they may have finally found an object predicted so long ago, but I think that source probably violates the ATS terms and conditions (Note what the "F" stands for).

Next time maybe use a source without the "F" word, like this one:

What, you mean like this?



Thanks for giving me a reason to post this picture... haha

As far as the star goes, its just another example of how many amazing and wonderful things happen in our universe.

God forbid deer and rabbits start having unholy unions. Oh...damn. The end is near!

Jehovah is going to hurl that hybrid star at us as punishment for our sinful ways.

I bet the o.p did not expect his thread to go This way.

Funny though, gay marriage legal lol as if.
