Hubble catches planet being devoured by its star - Yahoo! News

this is super cool, although it kind of sucks for the planet.

apparently the planet is 40% bigger than jupiter, yet takes only 24 hours to get around its star. it must be going super fast. (for a planet.)

I saw that article yesterday. That's pretty awesome in my book.

I was disappointed that we only have an "artist's depiction" of what it looked like. I was really expecting something more along the lines of this:

Yeah, there are some very weird things out there. Another speedster that can boggle the mind is the pulsar. They're about 12.5 miles in diameter and can spin up to and beyond 700 times per second. The slowest take only 8 seconds per revolution which is still very fast for something the size of a city.
