Astronomers studied light emissions from a star system 2 years after its peak brightness and saw that it had consumed and partially spat out an orbiting planet.

    That would be a planet-eating star, OR a star eating a planet.

    Shouldn’t journalists be able to construct sentences?

      Yeah, seriously. I was expecting some kinda weird interaction that was causing the star to eject fuel in a constant stream. The title is backwards though, and no where near as noteworthy.

      Yeah foreal, I was severely disappointed. I wouldn’t say my day is ruined but fucking hell I did my best for a solid while to try and understand it, and it turns out to just be a wrong title.
