Hubble detects white dwarf accreting debris from a Pluto-sized object Hubble has captured a white dwarf actively accreting material from a disrupted, Pluto-sized object, offering direct evidence of how planetary bodies are shredded and assimilated by stellar remnants. The observation provides a laboratory for studying the long-term fate of planetary systems, including processes that will affect our own.
