Since its NASA, its already public domain. So, that could be my next e-book cover.

What happened to the giant star that exploded creating our sun, solar system and metal?
Is that too a White Dwarf floating somewhere?

Like a pearl, a white dwarf star shines best after being freed from its shell. In this analogy, however, the Sun would be a mollusk and its discarded hull would shine prettiest of all!

Does that make a super nova a raw oyster? No hot sauce necessary!

A “White Dwarf” is that some kind of Macro-aggression?

Star-privilege?
