A strange white dwarf system is pulling a nearby planet apart, leaving scientists unsure how both objects are still orbiting together.

The future of yellow dwarf stars, like our sun, is determined almost entirely by their mass. The most massive stars, about eight to 12 times heftier than the sun, can explode as supernovae, leading to ...
