"Scientists Uncover Mysterious Planet Defying Death by Its Star"
Astronomers from the University of Hawaii have discovered a planet named Halla that survived the expansion of its host star, Baekdu, into a red giant. This defies expectations as most planets in similar situations are engulfed by their stars. The survival of Halla raises theories about planetary evolution, including the possibility of binary star origins or Halla being a newly formed "second generation" planet. Observations from Maunakea observatories confirmed the planet's existence and stable orbit, leaving scientists intrigued about how it managed to survive.
