Castleford Tigers (16) 52

Within the Draco constellation, in the far northern sky, scientists have discovered a star, 700 light years from Earth, that has a distinctly unhealthy appetite. It is devouring its stellar companion. As the smaller of the two spins round the larger, the little cannibal is ripping streams of matter from its partner. Even odder, both stars have used up all their hydrogen fuel and now face a spectacular end to their existences – as fodder for supernovae explosions.For good measure, the two stars of Gaia14aae perfectly eclipse each other, as seen from Earth, a feature that could prove to be
