The team that studied this event identified an Earth-like exoplanet and an object 17 times larger than Jupiter (most likely a brown dwarf) in the nearer system. They were unable to characterize the star because of glare from the magnified background star.

Astronomers have found an Earth-like exoplanet orbiting a distant white dwarf, shedding light on the possible future of our own planet. Although the exoplanet may no longer be habitable, its survival through its star’s red giant phase offers intriguing clues about Earth’s fate when the Sun eventually dies.

The search for a second Earth within the Milky Way is ongoing, but a recently discovered planet falls short of the mark.

The finding provides insights into the future of the Solar System and the fate of Earth once the Sun dies and becomes a white dwarf.

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-like planet orbiting a white dwarf star about 4,000 light-years away. This discovery offers a potential preview of Earth’s distant future as the Sun undergoes its own transformation into a white dwarf billions of years from now.

The discovery of an Earth-like planet 4,000 light years away in the Milky Way galaxy provides a preview of one possible fate for our planet billions of years in the future, when the sun has turned into a white dwarf,
