Old Smokers: A New Type of Star Discovered at the Heart of Milky Way Galaxy Challenges Our Understanding

Broke On: Wednesday, 31 January 2024 Scientists have discovered a new type of star at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, nicknamed 'old smokers'. These stars emit solar system-sized clouds of dust and gas after sitting quietly for many years before suddenly puffing out vast clouds of smoke. This behavior is almost completely unheard of in red giant stars, which are formed during the dying stages of medium sized stars like our Sun. The discovery challenges our understanding of what happens at the end of giant star's lives and could have wider significance for the spread of heavy elements in other galaxies.
