White dwarf stars could host habitable planets. Fast planetary rotation reduces cloud cover, keeping surface temperatures stable.

Astronomers used a 3D global computer model to compare the climates of exoplanets in different stellar and orbital configurations. They found that a planet orbiting a white dwarf star would offer a ...

White dwarfs, once thought lifeless, could host habitable planets. The James Webb Telescope is searching for atmospheric ...

his philosophical deductions bear the impress of a mind which, if somewhat uncritical in method, is yet sound in its estimate of the importance of human life and destiny.

The evolution of white dwarfs is essentially a gravothermal process of cooling in which the basic ingredients for predicting their evolution are well identified, although not always well understood.
