Professor Albert Zijslra says, ‘When a star dies it ejects a mass of gas and dust – known as its envelope – into space.
‘The envelope can be as much as half the star’s mass. This reveals the star’s core, which by this point in the star’s life is running out of fuel, eventually turning off and before finally dying.
‘It is only then the hot core makes the ejected envelope shine brightly for around 10,000 years – a brief period in astronomy. This is what makes the planetary nebula visible.
‘Some are so bright that they can be seen from extremely large distances measuring tens of millions of light years, where the star itself would have been much too faint to see.’
Over the past few decades, the average person’s lifespan has risen almost everywhere in the world. In China, the U.S. and most of Eastern Europe, the average life expectancy at birth has reached the late 70s, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD. People in Western Europe and Japan, meanwhile, can expect to live into their early 80s.
Most rich people, however, are counting on living even longer — a lot longer, as in two decades more than average. In a new UBS Financial Services survey, 53 percent of wealthy investors said they expected to live to 100.
In an ITV documentary called The Real Camilla: HRH the Duchess of Cornwall, the royal opened up about Dumfries House – an 18th century Scottish property. Prince Charles brought the home back from the brink in 2007 and worked tirelessly to restore it before it was reopened to the public in 2008.
Camilla said, ‘If you could have seen it when the Prince first spotted it, you wouldn’t have believed it was the same house. It was so sad and unlived in, unloved and neglected.’ She described the heritage building as ‘eerie’ and that partially came down to its supernatural residents. She said, ‘There was definitely a ghost – without a shadow of a doubt. I walked up the steps, got into the hall and I thought, ‘I can’t go any further.’ I literally froze. If my hair could not stand on end, it would have done. I remember thinking I don’t want to come back and I didn’t for years.’
