Planet in the 'forbidden zone' of dead star could reveal Earth's fate

 A distant planet should have been consumed when its star expanded to become a red giant, perhaps offering insights into planetary migration

How  do evolutionist see the fate of Earth? It does not sound promising,

“A planet has been found orbiting a dead star in a zone where it should have been incinerated when the star died. The discovery might give us a window into the future of our solar system.-

When stars like our sun exhaust their fuel, they first expand to become a red giant, then collapse into a dense, Earth-sized remnant called a white dwarf.”

But for the ones who believe in a Creator, It is a different story, we will have a new heaven and new Earth.

White dwarf's planets were born before Earth existed

New Scientist is full of evolutionary stories. Now, they speculate that a  strangely cool star absorbed its planets billions of years before Earth even existed.

They reported that Last year, astronomers spotted a white dwarf  about 90 light years from us. White dwarfs are the remnants of dead stars that have ceased to carry out nuclear fusion, but this one, WD J2147-4035, appeared to be much cooler than most white dwarfs. Its relatively cold temperature indicated that it was about 10 billion years old – much older than other stars in its galactic neighbourhood.

This is contrary to what we read in Genesis 1.

Researchers found an exoplanet orbiting a white dwarf star

 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.
