DISTANCE 14 light yearsSPECIAL nearest solitary white dwarf

The closest white dwarf that wanders alone, without a partner star. It is ancient, the cooling ember of a star that died billions of years before our Sun was born. Its atmosphere shows traces of rocky debris, hinting that it once had planets or asteroids, and still chews on their crumbs. A quiet pensioner with a long memory.
