Astronomers spot two white dwarfs doomed to die in a quadruple detonation
75% Informative
Astronomers have spotted two hefty white dwarf stars - highly compact stellar embers - orbiting close together.
White dwarfs are among the most compact celestial objects.
Stars with up to eight times the mass of our sun appear destined to end up this way.
When they get closer to each other, the heavier star will begin to draw material from the lighter one's outer layer and increase in mass.
This will set the stage for a complex explosion called a type 1a supernova.
