Rare dead star found near Earth

cool article...

The do say that the dead star is in the earth's neighborhood, but they don't know which street.

they have a relatively large range of distances. Somewhere between 250 and 1000 light years away...

FYI - a light-year is approximately 6.3 Trillion miles
