Today Phil follows up last week’s look at the death of low mass stars with what comes next: a white dwarf. White dwarfs are incredibly hot and dense objects roughly the size of Earth. They also can form planetary nebulae: huge, intricately detailed objects created when the wind blown from the dying stars is lit up by the central white dwarf. They only last a few millennia. The Sun probably won’t form one, but higher mass stars do.

"On a dying planet where a white dwarf sun rules a world divided by dark and light... A legend is about to be born."
Here's a somewhat obscure science fiction film which was shown on TV once and then released on VHS. The VHS is now rare and out of print. It'll likely never see a DVD release. It was directed by Peter Markle (Millennium, X-Files) and written by author and Carlos Castaneda disciple Bruce Wagner (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Wild Palms, State of the Union).
A commenter named Falkeep had this to say about it on IMDB:
"[..] White Dwarf, for all of its fascinating sci-fi ideas and set-ups, is actually a re-make of Akira Kurosawa's classic film "Red Beard". Many people I know who love Kurosawa's movies don't even know that one but it is worth seeking out. Unlike many of the other samurai films, it is not about warriors but about doctors at a remote hospital in medieval Japan. The always outstanding Tishiro Mifune plays Red Beard, an iconoclastic doctor who refuses to play political games that would elevate him to the serving at the Royal Court preferring, instead, to remain at his "out in the sticks" hospital caring for the people of his village who need him. Into his world enters a young doctor who wants to do his time so he can then take a prestigious position as one of the Emperor's physicians. The plots of Red Beard and White Dwarf are identical... it is only the settings that are different. Watch them both back to back and you will gain a new appreciation of White Dwarf."

Scientists have found evidence of the dimmest and coldest white dwarf ever detected.
According to NASA, a white dwarf is what stars like the Sun become after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
Scientists have possibly found evidence of the dimmest and coldest white dwarf star ever detected.
They did so using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Green Bank Telescope and Very Long Baseline Array in combination with information provided by observatories.
Said one of the individuals on the team, "It's a really remarkable object. These things should be out there, but because they are so dim they are very hard to find."
While these ancient white dwarf stars emit very little light and have relatively low temperatures, theoretically they aren't a rarity at all.
What is hard to come by is a telescope powerful enough to pick up the signs of one.
When stars die, they collapse and as time goes on continue to cool and fade.
This one, being an estimated 11 billion years old, is below the visibility range of even the best optics.
It was discovered through a combination of tracking radio waves being emitted by a companion star and careful calculations.
Given the white dwarf's age and relatively cool estimated temperature of under 5 thousand degrees Fahrenheit, scientists say that it's probably compressed to the point of being a hard mass of crystallized carbon, much like a diamond.

A new type of white dwarf star nicknamed “Dox” has been discovered by a team of Brazilian astronomers led by Kepler de Souza Oliveira at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. The new dwarf star is the only known star of any kind with an almost pure oxygen atmosphere. Dox is slightly bigger than our home planet and has 60 percent the mass of our sun. Margaret J. Howell and Mark Sovel explain the science behind the newly discovered star on the Lip News.

A white dwarf, also called a degenerate dwarf, is a small star composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. They are very dense; a white dwarf's mass is comparable to that of the Sun and its volume is comparable to that of the Earth. Its faint luminosity comes from the emission of stored thermal energy. In January 2009, the Research Consortium on Nearby Stars project counted eight white dwarfs among the hundred star systems nearest the Sun. The unusual faintness of white dwarfs was first recognized in 1910 by Henry Norris Russell, Edward Charles Pickering, and Williamina Fleming;, p. 1 the name white dwarf was coined by Willem Luyten in 1922.
White dwarfs are thought to be the final evolutionary state of all stars whose mass is not high enough to become a neutron star—over 97% of the stars in our galaxy., §1. After the hydrogen–fusing lifetime of a main-sequence star of low or medium mass ends, it will expand to a red giant which fuses helium to carbon and oxygen in its core by the triple-alpha process. If a red giant has insufficient mass to generate the core temperatures required to fuse carbon, around 1 billion K, an inert mass of carbon and oxygen will build up at its center. After shedding its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, it will leave behind this core, which forms the remnant white dwarf. Usually, therefore, white dwarfs are composed of carbon and oxygen. If the mass of the progenitor is above 8 solar masses but below 10.5 solar masses, the core temperature suffices to fuse carbon but not neon, in which case an oxygen-neon–magnesium white dwarf may be formed. Also, some helium white dwarfs appear to have been formed by mass loss in binary systems.

91:00"White Dwarf" 1995 TV Pilot (VHS)
"White Dwarf" 1995 TV Pilot (VHS)"White Dwarf" 1995 TV Pilot (VHS)
White Dwarf is a 1995 science fiction TV movie written by Bruce Wagner, directed by Peter Markle, and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Halmi Sr. and Bruce Wagner for American Zoetrope. Originally intended as a television pilot, the film first aired on the Fox Network on May 23, 1995. While expected to be well received, the film instead garnered generally negative reception. Negative reception notwithstanding, the project received a 1995 ASC Awards nomination for 'Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography'. The pilot wasn't picked up for syndication and aired only once, and it never recieved a commercial release to my knowledge. As such, the only copies easily available are those recorded off of television from its first and only broadcast or promotional VHS screeners sent out to TV critics. This transfer is from one of the aforementioned promotional screeners and represents perhaps one of the best quality viewing options currently available. In the year 3040, New York medical student Driscoll Rampart (Neal McDonough) is completing his internship on Rusta, a rural planet which due to it being tidally locked to its primary, is divided into contrasting halves of day and night with the halves separated by a wall. The two sides are involved in a civil war: The day side containing a Victorian-styled colony is at odds with the night containing a medieval kingdom. The differences between the two cultures leaves Rampart in a state of wonder. Rampart arrives from Earth for a six-month stint at the Light Side clinic run by Dr. Akada (Paul Winfield). Rampart's ambition is to eventually set up a private practice in Manhattan on Park Avenue. -

White Dwarfs & Planetary Nebulae: Crash Course Astronomy #30
Today Phil follows up last week’s look at the death of low mass stars with what comes next: a white dwarf. White dwarfs are incredibly hot and dense objects roughly the size of Earth. They also can form planetary nebulae: huge, intricately detailed objects created when the wind blown from the dying stars is lit up by the central white dwarf. They only last a few millennia. The Sun probably won’t form one, but higher mass stars do. -- Table of Contents When low mass stars die they form white dwarfs 0:54 White dwarfs are roughly the size of Earth 2:16 Cloudy with a chance of Planetary Nebulae 3:59 Life Span 9:06 -- PBS Digital Studios: http://youtube.com/pbsdigitalstudios Follow Phil on Twitter: https://twitter.com/badastronomer Want to find Crash Course elsewhere on the internet?

White Dwarf (Full pilot, 1995)
"On a dying planet where a white dwarf sun rules a world divided by dark and light... A legend is about to be born." Here's a somewhat obscure science fiction film which was shown on TV once and then released on VHS. The VHS is now rare and out of print. It'll likely never see a DVD release. It was directed by Peter Markle (Millennium, X-Files) and written by author and Carlos Castaneda disciple Bruce Wagner (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Wild Palms, State of the Union). A commenter named Falkeep had this to say about it on IMDB: "[..] White Dwarf, for all of its fascinating sci-fi ideas and set-ups, is actually a re-make of Akira Kurosawa's classic film "Red Beard".

Pure Oxygen White Dwarf Star Discovered
A new type of white dwarf star nicknamed “Dox” has been discovered by a team of Brazilian astronomers led by Kepler de Souza Oliveira at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. The new dwarf star is the only known star of any kind with an almost pure oxygen atmosphere. Dox is slightly bigger than our home planet and has 60 percent the mass of our sun. Margaret J. Howell and Mark Sovel explain the science behind the newly discovered star on the Lip News. http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/deep-space/a20213/newly-discovered-star-has-an-almost-pure-oxygen-atmosphere/ Newest Lip News playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIbOpTLE2Zg&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGcjJDo6cQBCQprDMQyUQY3r&index;=1 The Journalists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1nx8kenck0&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGfqe9hDJc8fi5... -

"White Dwarf" 1995 TV Pilot (VHS)
White Dwarf is a 1995 science fiction TV movie written by Bruce Wagner, directed by Peter Markle, and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Halmi Sr. and Bruce Wagner for American Zoetrope. Originally intended as a television pilot, the film first aired on the Fox Network on May 23, 1995. While expected to be well received, the film instead garnered generally negative reception. Negative reception notwithstanding, the project received a 1995 ASC Awards nomination for 'Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography'. The pilot wasn't picked up for syndication and aired only once, and it never recieved a commercial release to my knowledge. As such, the only copies easily available are those recorded off of television from its first and only broadcast or promotional VHS screeners sent out to ... -

Red Giant dies leaving a White Dwarf
when stars get older, they start to build up heat in their cores due to the fact that the helium "ash" in their cores basically hangs on to some of the heat that is produced by the fusing of hydrogen in much the same way that embers in a fire heat up and remain hot long after the fire is out, except that, in the case of a star, those helium ashes don't get the chance to ever cool down this heating of the stellar core increases the radiation given off by the core to a point where it causes the outer atmosphere of a star to "puff" outwards in spite of the star's gravity, making the star expand to a much greater size than it used to be. This heating of the core can also result in those outer layers getting caught up in the intensified solar wind, thus those outer layers get dragged out int...

Many people I know who love Kurosawa's movies don't even know that one but it is worth seeking out. Unlike many of the other samurai films, it is not about warriors but about doctors at a remote hospital in medieval Japan. The always outstanding Tishiro Mifune plays Red Beard, an iconoclastic doctor who refuses to play political games that would elevate him to the serving at the Royal Court preferring, instead, to remain at his "out in the sticks" hospital caring for the people of his village who need him. Into his world enters a young doctor who wants to do his time so he can then take a prestigious position as one of the Emperor's physicians. The plots of Red Beard and White Dwarf are identical... it is only the settings that are different. Watch them both back to back and you will gain a new appreciation of White Dwarf."

Scientists have found evidence of the dimmest and coldest white dwarf ever detected.
According to NASA, a white dwarf is what stars like the Sun become after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
Scientists have possibly found evidence of the dimmest and coldest white dwarf star ever detected.
They did so using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Green Bank Telescope and Very Long Baseline Array in combination with information provided by observatories.
Said one of the individuals on the team, "It's a really remarkable object. These things should be out there, but because they are so dim they are very hard to find."
While these ancient white dwarf stars emit very little light and have relatively low temperatures, theoretically they aren't a rarity at all.
What is hard to come by is a telescope powerful enough to pick up the signs of one.
When stars die, they collapse and as time goes on continue to cool and fade.
This one, being an estimated 11 billion years old, is below the visibility range of even the best optics.
It was discovered through a combination of tracking radio waves being emitted by a companion star and careful calculations.
Given the white dwarf's age and relatively cool estimated temperature of under 5 thousand degrees Fahrenheit, scientists say that it's probably compressed to the point of being a hard mass of crystallized carbon, much like a diamond.

Scientists have found evidence of the dimmest and coldest white dwarf ever detected.
According to NASA, a white dwarf is what stars like the Sun become after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
Scientists have possibly found evidence of the dimmest and coldest white dwarf star ever detected.
They did so using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Green Bank Telescope and Very Long Baseline Array in combination with information provided by observatories.
Said one of the individuals on the team, "It's a really remarkable object. These things should be out there, but because they are so dim they are very hard to find."
While these ancient white dwarf stars emit very little light and have relatively low temperatures, theoretically they aren't a rarity at all.
What is hard to come by is a telescope powerful enough to pick up the signs of one.
When stars die, they collapse and as time goes on continue to cool and fade.
This one, being an estimated 11 billion years old, is below the visibility range of even the best optics.
It was discovered through a combination of tracking radio waves being emitted by a companion star and careful calculations.
Given the white dwarf's age and relatively cool estimated temperature of under 5 thousand degrees Fahrenheit, scientists say that it's probably compressed to the point of being a hard mass of crystallized carbon, much like a diamond.

A new type of white dwarf star nicknamed “Dox” has been discovered by a team of Brazilian astronomers led by Kepler de Souza Oliveira at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. The new dwarf star is the only known star of any kind with an almost pure oxygen atmosphere. Dox is slightly bigger than our home planet and has 60 percent the mass of our sun. Margaret J. Howell and Mark Sovel explain the science behind the newly discovered star on the Lip News.

White Dwarf is a 1995 science fiction TV movie written by Bruce Wagner, directed by Peter Markle, and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Halmi Sr. and Bruce Wagner for American Zoetrope. Originally intended as a television pilot, the film first aired on the Fox Network on May 23, 1995. While expected to be well received, the film instead garnered generally negative reception. Negative reception notwithstanding, the project received a 1995 ASC Awards nomination for 'Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography'.
The pilot wasn't picked up for syndication and aired only once, and it never recieved a commercial release to my knowledge. As such, the only copies easily available are those recorded off of television from its first and only broadcast or promotional VHS screeners sent out to TV critics. This transfer is from one of the aforementioned promotional screeners and represents perhaps one of the best quality viewing options currently available.
In the year 3040, New York medical student Driscoll Rampart (Neal McDonough) is completing his internship on Rusta, a rural planet which due to it being tidally locked to its primary, is divided into contrasting halves of day and night with the halves separated by a wall. The two sides are involved in a civil war: The day side containing a Victorian-styled colony is at odds with the night containing a medieval kingdom. The differences between the two cultures leaves Rampart in a state of wonder. Rampart arrives from Earth for a six-month stint at the Light Side clinic run by Dr. Akada (Paul Winfield). Rampart's ambition is to eventually set up a private practice in Manhattan on Park Avenue.

In this video we pick up our new adopted Russian dwarf hamster from Pets at Home in slough. She is an adorable Winter white hamster and at the time of this recording is turning grey, brown on her back.
We are thinking of names for her so if you know any names for her please leave a comment in the comments below.
In our video of our winter white dwarf hamster we pick her up from pets at home slough and take her back to her new home.
Its a female Russian Dwarf Hamster that was bought by her previous owner only to be left for a week and then returned. So we adopted her!
She is only 12 weeks old and is a Russian winter white dwarf hamster that is changing color from white to grey at this time of recording.
We are keeping her in the COMBI Cage for now until her new cage arrives which will be the Ferplast Duna Cage. You can see our reviews of these cages on our website at http://russiandwarfhamster.org/cheap-dwarf-hamster-cages-top-3-worth-the-money/
Once we finished this video we left her to get used to her cage for 2-3 days before beginning to handle and tame her. This is because she needs time to become used to her new surroundings and it becomes easier to tame her later.
We are still thinking of Russian dwarf hamster names for her so if you can think of any please leave a comment below.
The winter white hamster is known as a Russian dwarf hamster or djungarian hamster and has fluffy feet. The main difference between a winter white hamster and a Campbells is the fur change in the winter.
We have 2 male Russian Campbell's dwarf hamsters at home who will make great friends with our new winter white dwarf hamster. We will not allow breeding.
To see more about how to care for Russian dwarf hamsters and winter whites see our website at http://russiandwarfhamster.org
Our new dwarf hamster will be loved for very well and will have a big dwarf hamster cage with a silent spinner and a lot of attention. She will be handled at least once a day and cared for like a queen. :D
The pets at home box our winter white dwarf hamster came also had sawdust and materials that she recently stayed in. We kept these and added them to her new temporary cage to help her settle in to her new home. If you can think of an awesome Russian dwarf hamster name for her please leave it in the box below!

Our new dwarf hamster will be loved for very well and will have a big dwarf hamster cage with a silent spinner and a lot of attention. She will be handled at least once a day and cared for like a queen. :D
The pets at home box our winter white dwarf hamster came also had sawdust and materials that she recently stayed in. We kept these and added them to her new temporary cage to help her settle in to her new home. If you can think of an awesome Russian dwarf hamster name for her please leave it in the box below! Thanks for watching

when stars get older, they start to build up heat in their cores due to the fact that the helium "ash" in their cores basically hangs on to some of the heat that is produced by the fusing of hydrogen in much the same way that embers in a fire heat up and remain hot long after the fire is out, except that, in the case of a star, those helium ashes don't get the chance to ever cool down
this heating of the stellar core increases the radiation given off by the core to a point where it causes the outer atmosphere of a star to "puff" outwards in spite of the star's gravity, making the star expand to a much greater size than it used to be. This heating of the core can also result in those outer layers getting caught up in the intensified solar wind, thus those outer layers get dragged out into space, meaning that the star will start to lose mass at a faster rate.
however, eventually the core will run out of gas and the radiation that was previously "puffing-up" the outer layers of the star, switches off.
At this point, gravity no longer has to contend with the outward pressure of the radiation coming from the core, and the star will collapse.
In very massive stars, this means that the star will collapse completely and produce a supernova
However, in smaller stars, the star doesn't collapse all the way and those left over outer layers of the star get ejected out into space, creating a planetary nebula, as well as leaving behind the intensely hot stellar core that was burning at millions of degrees Kelvin, in the form of a White Dwarf.
White Dwarfs are so dense that they can hold as much as mass as our sun in the same amount of space that the Earth takes up!
eventually the star will cool off and then fade into the background, no longer able to shine it's brilliant light and will eventually die as a Black Dwarf as it steadily radiates its residual heat out into space.
