JWST Discovers Exoplanets Orbiting Dead Stars

In 5 billion years the Sun will swell into a red giant star, swallowing up the Earth, and maybe even Mars.

But what about Jupiter and the rest of the gas giant planets?

This month new research has been published, claiming to have found two exoplanets in orbit around two dead white dwarf stars with JWST.

These planets are similar in mass to Jupiter, and orbit their stars at a distance similar to Saturn and Neptune in the Solar System.
