According to a recent study, astronomers may have observed a sun-like star consuming a planet for the first time, shedding light on what could happen to Earth in about four billion years when our own dying sun swells and engulfs our planet.

Through analyzing numerous stars in different stages of evolution, scientists have found that as suns like ours near the end of their lives, they consume their primary fuel source, the hydrogen near their cores, leading their cores to contract and their outer shells to expand and cool.

This results in the “red giant” phase, during which stars can expand up to 1,000 times their original diameter and potentially swallow planets orbiting too closely, Space reported.
