TESS, Spitzer Spot Potential Giant World Circling Tiny Star

NASA's Tess and Spitzer missions discovered WD 1856 b, a giant planet orbiting close to a white dwarf. This unusual finding suggests the planet formed farther away and moved inward due to gravitational influences. The discovery provides insights into planetary evolution and the dynamics of star systems. Tess continues to search for similar worlds.

What are some possible factors that could have influenced the orbit of WD 1856 b over time?

How might the findings related to WD 1856 b help scientists understand the evolution of other star systems?
