Chandra Finds Evidence for Stellar Cannibalism
ScienceDaily (Sep. 14, 2010) — Evidence that a star has recently engulfed a companion star or a giant planet has been found using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. The likely existence of such a "cannibal" star provides new insight into how stars and the planets around them may interact as they age.

The star in question, known as BP Piscium (BP Psc), appears to be a more evolved version of our Sun, but with a dusty and gaseous disk surrounding it. A pair of jets several light years long blasting out of the system in opposite directions has also been seen in optical data. While the disk and jets are characteristics of a very young star, several clues -- including the new results from Chandra -- suggest that BP Psc is not what it originally appeared to be.

Also- what test?

6. That wasn't a test.

It was also another dodge of the question.

7. Test it was and you failed, hopelessly. Pity that.

8. A test of what, exactly?

The rather pointless and random highlighting of empty space in a message post?





That's not a test, that's just dumb.




You, however, were asked a simple question, and you've failed to give a legimate answer.


Funny how that keeps happening.
