NASA just saw inside a white dwarf system for the first time, and the view surprised scientists
NASA's IXPE telescope has revealed new details about the white dwarf star EX Hydrae, observing it not just as a point of light but as a structured system. For the first time, scientists measured the height of hot gas above the star, offering a deeper understanding of these extreme cosmic environments and paving the way for new astronomical observations.
