Humans are like stars. You either live short but brilliant lives and blow up at the end in a rainbow murder bomb, or you live forever, go through a mid-life crisis, and then compress into a cold hyper pressurized diamond for the rest of reality with everyone debating if you’re dead or not.

Genuinely saddened by this. One of my favourite illustrators over the decades and was still producing new art for games very recently.

The star Sirius, α Canis Majoris // Spencer Collins

The name Sirius comes from the Ancient Greek word seirios, meaning "glowing" or "scorcher". It may also have an etymological connection to the Egyptian god Osiris.

White Dwarf Cocoon

Like a butterfly, a white dwarf star begins its life by casting off a "cocoon" of gas that encloses its former self.

Dueling a dragon -- Alan Craddock's cover art on White Dwarf 44, August 1983, was previously used on a 1982 Methuen edition of CJ Cherryh's Fires of Azeroth. This issue's credits incorrectly list Jim Burns as cover artist, omitting Craddock's name.

An article published in "The Astrophysical Journal Letters" reports the results of a study of the white dwarf cataloged as WD 0816-310 and of what was defined as a scar on its surface, left by the materials of a large asteroid that got swallowed. A team of researchers used ESO's VLT (Very Large Telescope) in Chile to obtain the information necessary to identify the metallic elements that form that scar and its concentration in a specific area, which is one of its magnetic poles. This result offers new insights into the evolution of planetary systems after the death of their star.

NGC 2440 Nucleus: The Hottest Star? - November 30th, 1995.

"In the center of the above photograph lies a star with one of the hottest surface temperatures confirmed. This bright white dwarf star's surface has been measured at greater than 200,000 degrees Celsius - more than 30 times hotter than that of our own Sun. The white dwarf's extreme heat makes it glow extraordinarily bright: intrinsically more than 250 times brighter than the Sun. The star is at the center of the planetary nebula titled NGC 2440, which lies inside our Milky Way galaxy. The above computer sharpened image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope."
