So this expands the total number of Exoplanets, which means more possible planets live could have evolved on.

ChatGPT summary:

This article discusses the discovery of a planet called Halla orbiting a red giant star named Baekdu. The star is currently in the phase of helium fusion in its core, which is puzzling because it should have expanded and engulfed the planet. The researchers propose two possible scenarios to explain Halla's survival. One possibility is that Baekdu was originally part of a binary star system, and the merger of the stars prevented the expansion that would have engulfed the planet. The other possibility is that Halla is a relatively new planet that formed from the gas and dust produced by a collision between the stars. This discovery highlights that exoplanets can appear in unexpected places, challenging our assumptions about their formation.
