White Dwarf G29-38 Accreting Debris
Artist's impression of a white dwarf, G29-38, accreting planetary material from a
circumstellar debris disk. When the planetary
material hits the white dwarf surface, a plasma is formed and cools via detectable
X-ray emission....

WD1054-226
The white dwarf WD1054-226 exhibits a constant stream of transits by debris and or dust in orbit about it, with an underlying
period of 25.02 hours. Astronomers believe that the material orbits within the star's
habitable zone, where the temperature ...

Planet Collision
... ollision caused the two bodies to merge into a giant, donut-shaped cloud of hat
gas and dust called a synestia (background). Debris
from the impact is seen in the foreground. ...

ZTF J0923+4236
The white dwarf shown in the illustration is one of several that an international
team of astronomers has been studying. Called ZTF J0923+4236, the star exhibits a
series of dips in its brightness. The team, led by Amornrat Aungwerojwit from
Naresuan...

White Dwarfs Accreting Debris
Astronomers from the University of Warwick, UK, have observed a pair of old white
dwarf stars, both of which have had their atmospheres polluted by infalling planetary
material. The two stars do not orbit each others and are not related. One is a coo...

Moon Formation - V3
Artwork of the young Earth-Moon system. The Earth had recently formed when it was
struck by a protoplanet – called Theia – roughly three times the size of Mars.
Debris from the impact went into orbit, while the
cores of the two planets merged. Wi...

Dangers of Low-Earth Orbit
Artwork showing two of the potential dangers of low-Earth orbit. Since the late
1950s, the amount of junk in orbit around the Earth has escalated dramatically. The
debris includes pieces of old spacecraft and objects
accidentally dropped by astronaut...
