“In the extreme, a white dwarf star represents what it means to be burned out….dead on the inside, still shining, but whose light will in time, extinguish.”
Photograph of M27, the Dumbbell Nebula with a white dwarf star at its center, was taken by Dwight Jones and Shawn Yanke at the Oldman River Observatory. Additional processing of the image was done by Tom Anderson. All three are members of the Lethbridge Astronomy Society.
