Astronomers have recently discovered something rather ominous: eleven newly detected planets, orbiting a sun-like star, are doomed. The star, known as TOI-561, is a red giant and is about 60% more massive than our own sun. As the star grows in size, it will eventually envelop the eleven planets, foreshadowing their ultimate destruction. Scientists have theorized that this could be the fate of our own solar system in the distant future.
