Life Around A White and Brown Dwarf




Astronomers have been looking for another suitable place to live. Where life can thrive for a long period of time without the worry of the habitat dying fast. They're recently looked at white and brown dwarfs, whether a suitable planet could be there. Now a planet must can survive there, but only for a short period of time, atleast compared to ours. The two dwarves share the characteristic of cooling and dimming slowing, but the area for a suitable area, moves inward. Thus the planet would fall out of that area, making it unbearable. Even though it would be great to be able to find a suitable planet, it woud take time to get there and it may not be in the same condition we saw it. In order for this to happen we would have to find another system just like ours, amazing how rare it seems.
