"Planets orbiting white dwarfs may have conditions suitable for life. While these stellar remnants no longer generate their energy, their rapidly shrinking habitable zones could still provide enough time and resources for biological processes to emerge. This challenges previous assumptions that planets in these systems would be inhospitable due to their dynamic temperature fluctuations. The research introduces a model that examines whether two critical processes which are photosynthesis and ultraviolet (UV)-driven abiogenesis could take place in these zones, suggesting that life could persist around these stars for billions of years…"
