Here are some planets around sun-like stars that are doomed:
- Rho Coronae Borealis This yellow dwarf star is 57 light years away from Earth. It has four exoplanets in its habitable zone. The three planets in the most danger are e, b, and c, the closest planets to the star.
- TOI-2337b, TOI-4329b, and TOI-2669b These three exoplanets are doomed to be eaten by their stars. All three host stars are much larger than the Sun.
- TOI 451 This star rotates every 5.1 days, which is more than five times faster than the Sun. Even TOI 451’s most distant planet orbits three times closer than Mercury ever approaches to the Sun.
- Kepler-1568b This exoplanet has less than 3 million years left.
Other doomed planets include:
- An exoplanet that is inching closer to an older star
- A planet that is skimming the surface of its star
- A planet that has a tail of gas boiling off
Rho CrB is no different. It has four known exoplanets named Rho Coronae Borealis b, c, d, and e. They’re named in order of discovery, not distance from the star. The three planets in the most danger are e, b, and c, the closest planets to the star
Doomed” means certain to fail, die, or be destroyed. For example, you might say “This is a doomed city”. Synonyms of “doomed” include “fated” and “ill-fated”.
“Doomed” can also be used as a plural noun to refer to a group of unfortunate people. For example, you might say “A runaway dog that kills the animal control officer’s pet chickens is doomed”.
“Doomed” can also mean destined, or seemingly destined, especially to an adverse fate. For example, you might say “Math wizards were able to pinpoint the final resting place of the doomed
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of an exoplanet whose orbit is deteriorating as it orbits an aging star. The doomed planet, first discovered by the Kepler space telescope, is on a collision course with its expanding star, ultimately leading to its destruction.
More than a decade ago, Kepler-1658b was the first exoplanet discovered by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope. Now, astronomers say the planet is doomed to meet a fiery fate. It’s been spiraling ever closer to its host star, foreshadowing a fatal collision
Yes, planetary engulfments are likely common throughout the universe. In our galaxy, this may even happen a few times a year.
Here are some examples of doomed planets:
- WASP-12b This planet is being cannibalized by its star. The star’s heat is stripping the planet’s atmosphere, which then falls into the star. WASP-12b could be completely consumed in just 10 million more years.
- Kepler-56b This planet is expected to be swallowed up by its star in 130 million years.
- Kepler-56c This planet is expected to be swallowed up by its star in 155 million years.
Other doomed planets include:
- HD 80606 b
- Kepler-78b
- Jupiter
- 55 Cancri e
- COROT-2 b
- PSO J318
