Possible planet found orbiting star far hotter than the Sun
Original: exoplanets
Astronomers report a possible planet in the habitable zone of a star roughly 2,000 degrees hotter than our Sun, a rare find given such stars' intense radiation. If confirmed, it would show planets can survive around very hot stars, prompting discussion about how habitable zones work around extreme hosts.
Why now: News of a potential habitable-zone planet around an unusually hot star is new and surprising to space audiences.
