RedNova News: Giant Star Seen Swallowing Planets

RedNova News: Giant Star Seen Swallowing Planets: "University of Sydney -- Astronomers from Sydney University have come forth with a solution to a mysterious new object recently discovered in our Milky Way.
In a letter soon to be published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Dr Alon Retter and Dr Ariel Marom from the Department of Physics suggest that this phenomenon is an expanding giant star swallowing nearby planets, an event which may one day befall our own planet."

Mmm, planets.
