Blue dwarf (red-dwarf stage)

Common card · No. 299169

A blue dwarf is a hypothetical class of star that develops from a red dwarf after it has exhausted much of its hydrogen fuel supply. Because red dwarfs fuse their hydrogen slowly and are fully convective (allowing their entire hydrogen supply to be fused, instead of merely that in the core), they are predicted to have lifespans of trillions of years; the universe is currently not old enough for any blue dwarfs to have formed yet. Their existence is predicted based on theoretical models.
