Depends on the strength of the sun really. If it burns out quickly it dwindles to a white dwarf and burns out into a compact mass, if it burns slowly it has alot of mass still which collapses into a black hole. Ours burns slowly.Quote:

We see a lot of carbon, and its a fully collapsed white dwarf, it is inevitable that it is a diamond.
You can actually do this light test at home if you have a way to put a prism in the focal point just in front of the eye piece.
