Dr. Tremblay said: "This is the first direct evidence that white dwarfs crystallise, or transition from liquid to solid. It was predicted fifty years ago that we should observe a pile-up in the number of white dwarfs at certain luminosities and colours due to crystallisation and only now this has been observed....The Sun itself will become a crystal white dwarf in about 10 billion years."

It is caused by global warming of the Earth due to manmade greenhouse gasses.

"...The Sun itself will become a crystal white dwarf in about 10 billion years."
Was that to be in 10 Billion or 10 Million years?

Before the sun becomes a white dwarf, it is expected to become a red giant, expanding out nearly to the earth's orbit. Apparently scientists are uncertain whether the earth will be obliterated or whether it will have moved into an orbit further away from the sun. Even in that case, all life will have been destroyed on earth.
So there will be no one around to remind everyone that the sun's becoming a white dwarf is all Donald Trump's fault.

Thanks BraveMan. A coalition of progressive [sic] organizations condemns the findings as white dwarf privilege.
