Some exostars are full of wonders:
“A strange star about 13,000 light years away may have a solid surface, not
a gaseous one like most stars. The star, called 4U 0142+61 but nicknamed simply
4U, is a magnetar – the dense, highly magnetised corpse of a giant
star that exploded in a supernova – and researchers have never seen one like
this before".
“X-ray observations show that
a distant magnetar may have a surface made of a strange material somewhere
between a solid and a fluid instead of a gaseous one like most stars"
We would not find little green men on the Star or its planets.
The start throws the
planetary formation theory out of the window. We have no reason to
find little green men on the star or its planets,
