Astronomers Detect Potential ‘Second Generation’ Planet Around Dying Stellar White Dwarf

A dying white dwarf 270 light-years away shows niobium levels 1,000 times the Sun's, evidence astronomers say points to a Jupiter-like planet that formed from the star's own death debris. It orbits every 4.4 days and marks the first detected second-generation planet, reopening a decades-old argument over whether stellar remnants can build new worlds.
