Remarkable discovery of dwarf utara stars presented at conference
Dr G P Kuiper of the University of Chicago reported on 18 dwarf utara objects described as masses of fire compressed until their cores weigh thousands of times heavier than steel. Dwarfs range from Earth to moon size, yet weigh 150 900 to 00 000 times Earth. Smaller dwarfs are heavier and their surface flames reach only feet high. The sun’s flames rise 500 000 miles, yet dwarfs on average run hotter with surface temperatures from 27 000 to 54 000 Fahrenheit.
