Dead Star Reveals Two Debris Discs That May Hint at the Solar System's Future
Astronomers using the Very Large Telescope have identified an unusual structure around the white dwarf J1328−1450, consisting of two concentric debris discs separated by a gap. Published in Nature Astronomy, the study suggests these rings are maintained by surviving planetary bodies and offers new insights into the fate of planetary systems after their stars die.
