We’re back with a session on planets around white dwarfs 🪐
Ryan MacDonald reminds us that in a very long time this will be the fate of our sun too. Jupiter and Saturn will probably fine but closer in… nah likely not.
This is basically what we can test by looking at white dwarf planetary systems. Killing planets in this way means there are polluted white dwarfs with planetary material in their stellar atmosphere. But for the ones that survive we can do a study of what could be.
