A team from MIT, Harvard University, and Caltech have set a record for being the first to spot a star swallowing a planet. They spotted a planet being consumed by a dying star. The incident occurred in the Milky Way galaxy approximately 12,000 light-years away near the Aquila constellation. Over the course of 10 days, scientists watched a star get 100 times brighter than usual and then disappear. The white-hot flash preceded a cold, long-lasting signal, as confirmed on November 24, 2023.
