Florida Tech's Caldon Whyte is fascinated by white dwarf stars and the likelihood of life in their orbits.

He developed a model assessing whether two processes, photosynthesis and UV-driven abiogenesis, would receive enough energy in a white dwarf's habitable zone to occur.

The discovery of this potential Earth -like similarity could change the trajectory of the search for life.
