In the vast ledger of cosmic rules, astronomers have long written that planets orbiting close to red giant stars must perish — consumed by the very star that once gave them light. Yet a Jupiter-sized world called Halla, circling the red giant Baekdu at half the Earth-Sun distance, endures where it should not, forcing a quiet but profound revision of what we believe possible in the life and death of solar systems. Discovered through NASA's TESS satellite data spanning 2019 to 2022, this 'forbidden planet' invites us to consider that the universe's capacity for survival — and even rebirth — may
