http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2502755.stmI found that quite interesting.
I was also fascinated by the link within the article, related to quark stars. I had heard about white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes almost 20 years ago, but just learned about the possibility of quark stars a few days ago. The topic is quite new, I understand.
