Scientists Realize They Witnessed the Last Gasp of a Planet as It Met a Horrible FateThe X-ray emissions from the Helix Nebula may be linked to a planet destroyed by a white dwarf.
Astronomers have found leftover 'zombie star' from supernova shone in the night sky 1,000 years agoA rare Type Iax supernova event occurred in 1181, likely caused by a collision of two white dwarfs, leaving behind a 'zombie star.'
A new origin story for supernovae after 94 yearsStars can supernova through different pathways; massive stars via core collapse and less massive stars via white dwarf detonation.Recent research suggests the older model for type Ia supernovae is inadequate, prompting a focus on more complex scenarios.

The Sun Will Destroy the Earth One Day, Right? Maybe Not.Earth may endure a similar fate as a recently discovered rocky planet around a white dwarf after its star's red giant phase.
