Scientists have revealed that the Jupiter-like exoplanet WASP-12b, known as a "hot Jupiter," is doomed to be completely devoured by its star in just three million years, much sooner than previously thought. The extreme gravity of the star is already deforming and tearing apart the planet, with its atmosphere being stripped away. This rare and extreme planet, orbiting very close to its giant star, is being slowly cannibalized, and its tragic end has been predicted by researchers.
Phobos, one of Mars' two moons, is on a collision course with the red planet, set to crash into it in tens of millions of years. NASA's Perseverance Rover captured a stunning view of Phobos eclipsing the Sun from the surface of Mars, providing valuable observations of the moon's slow death spiral. Meanwhile, Earth's Moon is gradually moving away from us, resulting in a decrease in the number and frequency of total solar eclipses. In about 600 million years, Earth will experience its last total solar eclipse. However, before that happens, the Sun will become a Red Giant and engulf the Earth, ensuring that the Moon and Earth go down together.
