NASA researchers have monitored the facts of the death of a planet and its collision with the surface of a star called a white dwarf 44 light years from Earth, at a temperature of 1.8 million degrees Fahrenheit..
And Mail Online revealed that NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has observed the remnants of the dying planet colliding with the core of the sun-like star that was also long dead..
Experts from the University of Warwick in England explained that the remnants of the planet were observed heating up to 1.8 million degrees Fahrenheit when they collided with the surface of the Earth. G 29-38 It is a variable white dwarf 44 light-years from Earth.
Researcher Timothy Cunningham pointed out that this is the fate that might await the planets, moons and asteroids in the solar system within a few billion years..
However, it is not a quick process, and it does not start until following a stage called a “red giant”, in which the star sheds its outer layers, then is attracted inward over billions of years, and once it gets close enough to the star to be destroyed, it forms a disk that “falls” slowly material.
Cunningham estimated the age of these burnt and fallen remains at regarding 100 thousand million years.
They found that over time this debris gradually moved closer to the remnants of the stars, until it was consumed within the star’s surface.
Cunningham said that most stars and planetary systems would end up like G 29-38 and turns into a white dwarf, with more than 300 stars discovered in the Milky Way alone.
