A star that swallows another

A group of scientists detected a “vampire” star located about 3,000 light years from Earth that is sucking the material of a brown dwarf nova, which has a mass ten times smaller, according to a study.

The discovery consists of two stars, one of which is a white dwarf that takes material from its companion, in this case the brown star, which is an intermediate body that is not large enough to initiate nuclear combustion and become a true star.

This could be the future of our solar system in billions of years if the Sun becomes a white dwarf and begins to suck energy from Jupiter, according to the scientific review. Monthly News of the Royal Astronomical Society.
