Stars are the most widely recognized astronomical objects, and represent the most fundamental building blocks of galaxies. The age, distribution, and composition of the stars in a galaxy trace the history, dynamics, and evolution of that galaxy.oday, we understand that they are in fact, very old stars-white dwarfs. If a white dwarf is close enough to a companion star, its gravity may drag matter-mostly hydrogen-from the outer layers of that star onto itself, building up its surface layer.
