planet eating star captured by hubble

The discovery was published in the The Astrophysical Journal Letters that a Sun-like star "eating" a nearby planet. The researchers say the planet, which is called Wasp-12b, may only have another 10 million years left before it is completely devoured.
It is so close to its star that it completes an orbit in 1.1 Earth days and is superheated to more than 1,500C.

Because of this proximity, the planet's atmosphere has ballooned to nearly three times the radius of Jupiter and is spilling material on to the star.

Wasp-12 is a dwarf star located approximately 600 light-years away in the constellation Auriga.
