The planet HS 0209+0832 formed from debris ejected when its parent star died, rather than from the original protoplanetary disk. [1] This planetary system is located in the constellation Cygnus at a distance of 270 light-years from Earth. [2] The discovered planet is classified as a second-generation planet because it emerged from matter ejected by a star during its death rather than forming in a standard protoplanetary disk. [3]
