Summary:
- Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet, a planet outside our solar system, that is caught in a "death spiral" around its host star.
- The exoplanet, known as WASP-12b, is being slowly pulled apart by the intense gravitational forces of its host star, which is causing it to gradually spiral inward.
- Researchers believe that WASP-12b will eventually be completely destroyed and consumed by its host star, providing valuable insights into the process of planetary destruction and the evolution of planetary systems.
