Star devouring it's own planet

Young star caught devouring its own planet for the very first time



Astronomers have long theorized that newly formed stars can occasionally consume their planets, but until now, they have never observed such a feeding frenzy. This artist’s concept illustrates the destruction of a young planet around a star, which can knock material directly into the star itself.

Let’s hope our sun is not hungery

Let’s hope the next earthquake doesn’t knock the earth out of orbit

Let’s hope the next earthquake doesn’t knock the earth out of orbit

Is that a possibility ?

Not really. Considering how small of a space a typical earthquake covers compared to the size of the earth, the most an earthquake can do is change time by about a couple milliseconds at best.
