When white dwarf stars die, their surface changes pretty dramatically. And for the first time, astronomers have discovered a two-sided, white dwarf star that's only halfway through the process.

For a moment I was like "... Well, Janus IS a two faced deity, as far as I remember" and then it changed to: "oh. Yeah. Scientists borrowing suitable names from mythology!" and I like that xD
And it's fascinating~

I love how they named it after the Roman god of duality and doorways, who was often depicted with two faces on the front and back of his head

They should name the closest star to it "Hugh."

I feel flabbergasted by the fact that we can tell how dense a star is by just looking at it but just the sunlight that reflects that the absorb but just put the star like that was sent to us over a billion years ago or some s*** how how do they know that? How did they know that? That that's I don't know man. Amazing

I love these shorts from SciShow. Even more to the point than the usually focused pieces. Still, I think it could mention the Janus myth. And I'm fairly certain that means it's pronounced "Jay-nus", like "Ju-pi-ter", per Merriam Webster et al.

That is the perfect name. Not only is Janus a two faced god, but is also the single most honored god in the entire Roman pantheon! That name is a very high honor, and is very fitting for one of the most unique discoveries in astronomy.

Little did we realize that this is a glimps into an alternate reality where the plot of Batman takes place, but all the characters are celestial bodies, with this star of course being Two Star, the former Harvey Star of the Star based Batman universe.
