The Ridiculous Density of White Dwarfs

What to study

Curiosity Gap

Everything you've seen is made of atoms, so TOO DENSE FOR ATOMS sounds impossible. The star is split open like a cutaway and the arrow points at a purple core. If that isn't atoms, what is it?

How the packaging works
Title

'Ridiculous' sets a playful tone and promises a number so big it's funny, and 'White Dwarfs' names a star type most space fans have heard of but can't picture.

Thumbnail

Pulling the star apart into layers shows there's something inside to look at, and the red arrow on the dark purple core says that's where the strange part is.

Remix this

When the surprising part of your topic is hidden inside something, show it pulled apart in layers with an arrow on the centre. Put the impossible-sounding claim above it and save the explanation.
