Abstract

Now that astronomers know what to look for, De expects researchers will find many more planet-eating stars, especially with new and more powerful survey telescopes coming online. For the first time, astronomers have observed a dying star billowing up and swallowing one of its planets - just as the Sun will someday consume Earth. [Extracted from the article]
