Astronomers1 spot what appears to be a sun-like star eating an orbiting planet

Transcript2

They got a sneak3 peek4 at what could be Earth's ultimate fate in about 5 billion years when the sun reaches the end of its life and engulfs5 the solar system's inner planets -– including our own.

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Michel Martin. It's a first for scientists - seeing a star gobbling up a planet. It was a gas giant about as big as Jupiter. In one big gulp6, the star engulfed7 the planet, letting out a burst of light. The galactic feast took place between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago. Experts say Earth may suffer a similar fate one day. That's billions of years away. So like "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy8" says, don't panic.

It's MORNING EDITION.
