HD 82943: Planet Swallower
HD 82943 is a star much like our Sun, a G dwarf with similar temperature and composition. It is known to have at least two giant planets, but their orbits are not circular and bring them closer to the star than planets in our solar system. Astronomers have found evidence suggesting that HD 82943 may have swallowed other planets in the past. This image illustrates such a dramatic cosmic event.
