Illustration shows two rings of gas and dust around the white dwarf J1328−1450. ESO/L. Stroke Astronomers have discovered an unprecedented structure around a dead star of our Cosmos: two separate rings formed by remnants of ancient planetary bodies. The system is around the white dwarf J1328−1450 and can help scientists understand what happens to planets and other celestial bodies after a sun-like star reaches the end of life. 的Like the g1 on Go…
Astronomers using the very large telescope of the European Southern Observatory (ESO's VLT) discovered a rare disk of debris around a dead star that gives an overview of what could happen to our solar system. Unlike similar systems previously discovered, debris – the remains of the planets that once rotated [...]

Astronomers find unique disc of debris around dead star | ESOUsing the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have found a unique disc of debris around the white dwarf J1328−1450—the dead core of a star similar to our Sun. The star is surrounded not by one but two discs of gas that are likely maintained by planetesimals that survived the star’s death. As these planetesimals orbit the star, they interact with dust…
