 Researchers have found an exoplanet orbiting a white dwarf star in its habitable zone. Evolutionists assume that it can harbour live, just like bigger stars.

“A lot of people think of a white dwarf as a dead system or a dead end, but this tells us that there is a lot of stuff going on around white dwarfs,” says Jay Farihi at University College London.

Yes, white dwarfs are poisonous. They make living there impossible. 

Farihi and his colleagues spotted these hints while observing a star called WD 1054-226, which lies about 118 light years away, using several powerful telescopes

The researchers have found that a supposedly looking star hails about 2.6 million kilometres from the star – about 4 per cent of the distance between Mercury and the sun – putting their temperatures at around 50°C, which is right in the middle of the range for liquid water. This means that if there is a planet there, it could have the right temperature for oceans and maybe even life.

But that is just an assumption. Life only comes from being created.
