From Starlight to Twilight: A Friendly Vampire Star!
Astronomers have taken the best photos ever of a star that has lost most of its material to a vampire star! This picture shows the positions of a large star (shown in red) and the ‘vampire’ star (shown in blue) in photos taken about 1.5 months apart, as they orbit around a common point.
