The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) The telescope called Kepler, which he launched into space in 2009, discovered a planet shortly after it was orbited. Experts have spent 10 years elucidating the existence of this planet. Finally, the planet became official and “Kepler-1658b“. But the life of this planet was short-lived…

The first planet discovered by the Kepler telescope 6 Was the size of Jupiter. Recent research has revealed a striking fact about Kepler-1658b. So much so that Kepler-1658b is approaching a star and the end is near. Announcing that the planet and star will collide, scientists say that Kepler-1658b will collide as a result of this collision. will disappear they announced.

The distance between the planet and the star it will collide into is shorter than the distance between Mercury and Earth!

According to the studies, Kepler-1658b is in a spiral orbit. nears the end. The orbital period of the planet, which completes its orbit once in 3.85 days, has recently begun to decrease by 131 milliseconds on an annual basis. This is the distance between the planet and the star. is about to close resources.

This situation, observed for the first time in history, is actually quite normal. The star called Kepler 1658, which has reached the end of its life, faces outward. began to expand and attracts objects around it. That’s when Kepler-1658b could no longer withstand this expansion. The gravitational energy of the star pulls the planet towards it at great speed and the final end is now very near. In the meantime; the same situation one day will live in the sun let me specify. However, experts believe that this will happen after billions of years.
