Detecting Life on Planets that Orbit White Dwarf Stars
|
| Topic: Alien Life |
02/25/13 |
| Summary: A white dwarf is a dead star that slowly cools down until it fades into oblivion. Yet it has been predicted that habitable planets can orbit a white dwarf. If we can somehow detect these planets, would we also be able to spot signs of life? |
