white dwarf starMailOnline
•New research gives frightening glimpse into how Earth will end

Astronomers at the University of California, Berkeley , found a distant, Earth -like planet 4,000 light-years away.
It was first spotted in 2020 when it passed in front of a more distant star, magnifying its light by a factor of 1,000 times.
Before the star died, this planet may have looked a lot like Earth orbiting the sun.
But today , this rocky, barren planet exists outside of the star's habitable zone.
Our own sun will eventually go through this same death process, but we won't be alive to see it.
A normal star would have easily been seen, but Zhang and his colleagues saw nothing.
This fact, coupled with other details about the lensing star, led the researchers to conclude that it could only be a white dwarf.
'This is a case of where seeing nothing is actually more interesting than seeing something,' said Lu .
