EX-exoplanet!

Recorded evidence of a star eating a planet before our human eyes!

Must happen quite a lot, wonder if Sol ate a world or two closer than Mercury?

Impressive that not only can we see the light of a planet being destroyed but it's from a star system 13,000 light years away towards the core of the Galaxy!

If anybody does have a Death Star out there, the whole Galaxy will know about it eventually, it would be a statement....

@Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈 I remember the final epic showdown of Peter Hamilton’s Salvation trilogy where they literally fling a neutron star at the bad guys.

And one of them comments, “well THIS is going to confuse a radio astronomer in a distant galaxy in a few million years”
