A couple of days ago I saw something on my Yahoo news home page about a recent discovery of a cold dead star that is actually cold enough to walk on ( if the gravity didn't crush you). And now I can't find any more about it. Does someone here have a link to more information?

Hmmm, a star with a surface temperature that allows for liquid water. Kind of makes you wonder if life could evolve there.
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
