? About the Event:
In a cosmic milestone, the James Webb Space Telescope helped confirm a rare astronomical phenomenon: a star swallowing a planet. This event occurred roughly 12,000 light-years away in the Milky Ways thick disk. Rather than a fiery explosion, the planets orbit gradually decayed until it was consumedleaving behind a glowing accretion disk and a spreading cloud of dust.
Its the first time scientists have directly observed such an event, offering new insights into the life cycle of stars and the fate of planetary systems.
