"Stunning Discovery: Afterglow of Exoplanet Collision Captured 1,800 Light-Years Away"

Astronomers have captured the afterglow of a planetary collision for the first time, as two icy exoplanets collided 1,800 light-years away. The collision created a blaze of light and enormous plumes of dust, which was detected by an amateur astronomer who noticed a quirk in a social media post. The fading of a star's brightness was caused by the dust cloud generated by the collision. Scientists believe that the dust cloud will eventually thin out and may form a retinue of moons orbiting the parent star. The discovery was published in the journal Nature.
