Researchers found evidence of a possible planet around the white dwarf HS 0209+0832, using old observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.

Hubble first recorded about 100 chemical signatures it could not identify in this system in 1999.

The team matched many of those signatures to niobium, an element that can form in the unusual conditions inside dying stars.

The amount detected was about 1,000 times the level in our Sun, pointing to a planet made from material shed by the star.

IndyCar tested its new IR-28 chassis at Sebring in Florida on Monday, with reigning series champion Alex Palou driving.

Palou completed 43 laps, and the team focused in part on driver comfort and cooling; he said the new car’s integrated air ducts had improved airflow.
