'Phoenix planet' discovered reborn from dead star's ashes

Original: white dwarf

Astronomers have identified a planet that survived the death of its host star, orbiting a white dwarf — the burnt-out remnant left after a star exhausted its fuel. Dubbed a 'Phoenix planet' for rising from the stellar ashes, the finding suggests planets can endure a star's violent end, prompting discussion about what this means for the long-term fate of our own solar system.

Why now: A new astronomical discovery of a planet surviving its star's death is capturing public and scientific attention.
