Considering that it is 5,600 light years away; it probably doesn't exist any longer--relatively speaking, of course!

"The oldest planet ever detected is nearly 13 billion years old and more than twice the size of Jupiter, locked in orbit around a whirling pulsar and a white dwarf"

Ok, so where do we insignificant humans on Earth fit into this picture? ;-)

Actually, that's only about a 1000 years older than the first pyramids. No big deal age wise. I don't think pulsars or white dwarves have short life spans.

5600 years is a blink of an eye in a 13 billion year existence. It's probably still there.

5600 years is nothing. It's less than a second in "man years".
