Astronomers report what could be the first known case of a planet forming around a dead star. Observations of debris orbiting the stellar remnant suggest a new world may be coalescing from the wreckage, a scenario never before recorded. If confirmed, the finding would reshape understanding of how planets can form around collapsed stars.
Why now: The reported discovery would be an astronomical first, drawing wide attention from space enthusiasts.
