SUMMARY | ||
A frozen Wolf-Rayet star with a surface temperature of 113 Kelvin, completely void of any light emitted by the star. | → | A frozen Wolf-Rayet star with a surface temperature of 113 Kelvin, completely void of any light emitted by the star. This is probably the only known star in the galaxy without any type of brightness. |
DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
Located in the center of Ryker's Hope, Splojeia AA-A H19 A is a Wolf-Rayet star completely void of any light emitted by the star itself; hence it’s nickname of “The Dark Star”. The surface of the star is at an incredibly cold 113 Kelvin, translating to about negative 160 degrees Celsius, which likely is cause for its non-light emitting properties. Ship in scale Against the brighter stars scattered in the background The Dark Star is clearly visible, covering any and all of its surroundings with its cold, decaying state. What is noteworthy about The Dark Star is that currently fusing oxygen with ionized lines, meaning that it’s relatively close to its death. Given that The Black Star contains a solar mass of nearly 92 it is not unlikely that the collapse will result in a hypernova, spelling out the death and destruction of nearby systems. Orbiting The Dark Star is H19 B, a more regular WNO I Wolf-Rayet at nearly 300,000 light-seconds away from its sibling. Although this is not as noteworthy as the parent,its quite immense at nearly 62 solar masses. This implies that once either of these stars go hypernova, one will always take down the other one in a mighty flash of light. | → | Located in the center of Ryker's Hope, Splojeia AA-A H19 A is a Wolf-Rayet star completely void of any light emitted by the star itself; hence it’s nickname of “The Dark Star”.
