The Fate of Exoplanets around White Dwarf Stars | NOIRLab
A short video explaining white dwarf stars and their evolution, and the resulting effects on their planetary systems. A white dwarf is what stars like the Sun become after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel. Near the end of its nuclear burning stage, this type of star expels most of its outer material, creating a planetary nebula. Only the hot core of the star remains.
