Hubble Spotted a Planet-Eating Star

Posted on May 25, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured evidence of a Sun-like star “eating” a nearby planet. Astronomers knew from the studies conducted that stars are capable of swallowing planets in orbit around them. However, this is the first time that the theory has visual evidence, first time the event has been “seen” so clearly. Hubble’s detection of the cloud enabled scientist to draw conclusions about how it was generated. The discovery was published in the “The Astrophysical Journal Letters.” Even though the planet was too far away for Hubble to take a picture of it, scientists used the analysis of the telescope’s data to create an image of it. According to the researchers, the planet is called Wasp-12 and it only has 10 million years left before it will be completely consumed. It is so close to its star that it completes an orbit in 1.1 Earth days and is superheated to more than 1,500C. The planet Wasp-12 is a dwarf star located more or less 600 light-years away in the constellation Auriga. Hubble Spotted a Planet-Eating Star is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading →

Furthermore, even more calls were reportedly made to the National Weather Service. Apparently, houses, trees and various other objects were also observed or felt shaking, said the reports. The official reports are now stating that what the people may have seen was a meteor that was eaten up by the Earth’s Atmosphere.
