      Twinkling in the sky is a diamond star of 10 billion trillion trillion carats, astronomers have discovered.
      The cosmic diamond is a chunk of crystallised carbon, 4,000 km across, some 50 light-years from the Earth in the constellation Centaurus.

      It’s the compressed heart of an old star that was once bright like our Sun but has since faded and shrunk.

              I’m not sure if it’s still technically a star.
              I would call it the husk of a white dwarf.

                white dwarfs are still stars they’re just no longer engaged in nuclear fusion… call it whatever you like tho 😉
