🪐 The star WD 1856+534, located about 80 light-years away in the constellation Draco, is an unusually cool and faint white dwarf orbited by a giant planet-sized object at incredibly close range. This is remarkable because white dwarfs are dense, burned-out remnants of stars like our Sun, and scientists believe any planet this close should have been destroyed during the star’s previous red giant phase—making this system an exceptional survivor among stars. ✨ #stars⚡#white_dwarfs⚡#exoplanets⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels
