More than 13 bil­lion years have passed since the cre­ation of the uni­verse. It has seen sev­er­al plan­e­tary sys­tems grow old, die and grow old. Astronomers have now dis­cov­ered the remains of the Milky Way’s old­est solar sys­tem, which is about 90 light-years from Earth.

Astronomers have spot­ted the old­est star in the Milky Way cur­rent­ly burn­ing up debris from plan­etes­i­mals. This plan­e­tary sys­tem with a faint white dwarf star is one of the old­est known icy and rocky plan­e­tary sys­tems in the galaxy.

A white dwarf star is a type of star that has already gone through a process of burn­ing up its fuel and then cool­ing and shrink­ing. Because of this, most stars, includ­ing our Sun, are des­tined to become white dwarfs. Accord­ing to sci­en­tists, if a star los­es its life, its plan­e­tary neigh­bors will most like­ly be destroyed.

Details of the results pub­lished in the Roy­al Astro­nom­i­cal Soci­ety’s Month­ly Notices have been announced. Astronomers have been able to mod­el two white dwarf stars dis­cov­ered by the Euro­pean Space Agen­cy’s GAIA space observatory.

One of the stars was seen as blue while the oth­er was red. It is the faintest and red­dest white dwarf star observed in the vicinity.

Accord­ing to Pier-Emmanuel Trem­blay, a physics pro­fes­sor at the Uni­ver­si­ty of War­wick, the dis­cov­ery of white dwarfs offers an oppor­tu­ni­ty to study the process of plan­et for­ma­tion in a gas- and met­al-poor envi­ron­ment. “Con­di­tions were dif­fer­ent when the solar sys­tem formed, and the observed white dwarfs pro­vide us with an unprece­dent­ed win­dow into the evo­lu­tion of plan­e­tary systems.

To deter­mine the cool­ing dura­tion of white dwarf star WDJ2147-4035, the team used data col­lect­ed from var­i­ous space obser­va­to­ries such as the X‑Shooter instru­ment and the Dark Ener­gy Sur­vey. The star is about ten bil­lion years old.
