Dying Exoplanet indicates, How the Earth will end...


A curious question is often asked in astronomy, what will be the end of the earth. It is also a question whether the end of the earth will be natural or an unusual accident such as an impact with a giant celestial body or we humans will destroy the earth through our actions. In general, from a scientific point of view, the end of the earth is assumed to be natural (the naturally expected end of the earth). Astronomers have been investigating how this will happen for a long time, but in a new study, an exoplanet has indicated how it can happen.


It is said that the existence of the 4.5 billion year old Earth depends on the existence of the Sun, that is, as long as it continues to receive light from the Sun, it will survive. Now astronomers have found out what will happen to the Earth, as well as simulations in reality. They spotted an alien planet on a collision course with its star.


The trajectory of this alien planet ends in a way. The study and detailed information about the planetary system were published in The Astronomical Journal Letters, according to which the study will prove to be a milestone in understanding the tidal physics on the end of a planet's life cycle. They are able to understand that the end of the planets is possible.


Shreyas Visapragada, a researcher at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, explains that researchers have previously found evidence of exoplanets being absorbed inside their stars, but are yet to find this type of planet near an evolved star. He had never seen such a result, Which he must have seen in this incident.


In theory, evolved stars are thought to efficiently draw energy from the orbits of their planets. Now, however, this view can be tested by observation. Named Kepler 1658b, this planet was discovered using NASA's Kepler telescope. This planet was discovered in 2009, but it took ten years for astronomers to confirm the existence of this hot Jupiter.
