Double debris disk around dead star hints at solar system's fate
Original: Double debris disk orbiting a dead star hints at our solar system's future
Astronomers have identified a double debris disk orbiting a white dwarf, a dead star, offering a rare glimpse of what may happen in our own solar system billions of years from now. The two distinct belts of rocky material suggest planetary bodies were shattered as the star died, foreshadowing the possible fate of asteroids and planets around the Sun.
Why now: The finding speaks to widespread curiosity about the ultimate destiny of the Sun and Earth.
