vale9001 Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) In a world first, scientists have observed the moment that a dying star consumed a planet — a fate that eventually awaits Earth. While astronomers have previously seen planets just before and just after being engulfed by a star, this is the first time that a planetary demise has been observed, according to a team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology. ........... ‘Seeing the future of the Earth’ First, the signal showed up in data from the Palomar Observatory in California, then De searched data on the same star from the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, before using an infrared camera at the Palomar Observatory to gather more information. Our own planet will meet the same fate, but not for 5 billion years, researchers say. “We are seeing the future of the Earth,” De said in the press statement. “If some other civilization was observing us from 10,000 light-years away while the sun was engulfing the Earth, they would see the sun suddenly brighten as it ejects some material, then form dust around it, before settling back to what it was.” full article: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/03/world/star-swallows-planet-study-scli-intl-scn/index.html Edited May 3, 2023 by vale9001
