This is awesome. I like the idea that the hydrogen may be accumulating and will eventually induce a Type 1a kablooie. Keep your telescopes on this one!🌠
Remnant magnetism, how does that work? High temperatures destroy permanent magnets, the sun only has magnetic fields because of the motion of charged plasma.
The scientist who figures this out is gonna get a Nobel!
Amazing discovery and, boy, what an engaging guy to interview! He has a real gift, like yourself, for science communication. Loved it!
