Research Suggests Potential for Life on White Dwarf Planets

Recent research suggests that planets orbiting white dwarfs, the remnants of stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel, may be viable candidates for sustaining life. This study highlights the long lifespan and potential habitable zones around white dwarfs, which could provide stable environments for biological evolution. With the possibility of liquid water and geological activity, these celestial bodies challenge traditional astrobiology views and expand the search for extraterrestrial life.
