"Phoenix: The Resilient Exoplanet Defying Stellar Destruction"

NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered an unusual exoplanet named Phoenix, which has managed to retain its atmosphere despite being bombarded by radiation from its red giant parent star. This hot Neptune, located 1,800 light-years away, is smaller, older, and hotter than expected, challenging current understanding of planetary evolution. The findings could provide insights into the future of Earth's atmosphere as our sun undergoes a similar transformation.
