Using groundbreaking data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have captured a planet's final moments as it spirals into its star—and Earth is next. Discover the terrifying physics behind orbital decay, the "drag of doom" that could incinerate our world, and why astronomers say Earth’s fate is a 50/50 coin toss.

Researchers have been astounded by the discovery of a unique solar system with six planets, even in a time when finding planets orbiting far-off stars has become routine. Though smaller than Neptune, all six of the planets are larger than Earth. Given their near proximity to the star they orbit, it is likely that they are small gaseous worlds with extended atmospheres of helium and hydrogen, making them unsuitable for life as we know it and excessively hot.

Supernova are one of the universe's most cataclysmic events. If a planet is too close, it will be sterilised, even destroyed. When massive stars run out of nuclear fuel in their core, they produce x-rays and blast waves of fast particles that would render a planet like Earth uninhabitable. Watch this story to know how a star exploded 1.9 billion light-years away and our ozone layer took the hit.

India is going to Venus! After its trips to the Moon and Mars, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) wants to discover the mysteries of the hottest planet. Venus is a complex planet due to its dense atmosphere and surface activity. The air pressure on the surface of Venus is extremely high. About 90 times greater than the pressure at sea level on Earth. Several features of Venus make it stand out amongst the other planets of the Solar System. Here's wishing ISRO a successful mission, which is likely to take place in 2025.
