I know, I know, it’s super pedantic…

Good catch on the post. It should be “its stellar mass is compressed to about the size of Earth.”

Also, nitpick: “A white dwarf is similar to a neutron star, but instead of being collapsed down to the size of a small city, its stellar *mass* is about the size of Earth”. Should that be “its stellar size”?
