Sad Fate for WASP-12b

Thanks to the amazing power of the Hubble Telescope, scientific zombies have discovered that the famous planet WASP-12b (not to be confused with WASP-12a) in our galaxy is in the process of being devoured by the star it orbits.


Within the next TEN MILLION years (can't wait to see it and take some pictures), the bully Sun, will finish eating away that beloved little planet. Also it is worthy to note that the planet is not small potatoes as it is 300 times the size of Earth and is so close to the star it orbits that its day is a bit shorter than 24 hours.


We know all that but still unable to stop Windows 7 from crashing all the time or stopping the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Go figure.
