A team of German astronomers, led by Professor Klaus Werner of the University of Tübingen, have discovered a strange new type of star covered in the by-product of helium burning. It is possible that the stars might have been formed by a rare stellar merger event.The fascinating results are published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Astronomers have come up with a new estimate for the total number of black holes in the universe, and the number is mind-bogglingly large—40 quintillion. That’s 4 followed by 19 zeros.
