2. 60 million years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth and killed every T-Rex on Earth. That same day, a star was born. 45 years ago, the singer of the band T Rex, Marc Bolan, wrapped himself around a tree at high speed. That same day, the star born 60 million years ago left the main sequence. Estimate the mass of that star, stating all assumptions you make.
