"Old Stars: Prime Locations for New Life and Alien Discoveries"

Research suggests that life might not end with the death of a star, but it would likely have to evolve again. Older stars and white dwarfs should be considered as potential hosts of life, but the changes from a regular star to a red giant to a white dwarf are too rapid for life to adapt unless a planet can be protected and relocated. While the death of the Sun will likely end life on Earth, new life might evolve again, but it seems unlikely that life can survive uninterrupted on a world as its star changes and evolves.
