can this be a déjà vu?

No, it’s not the end of the world… yet. Some scientists have found in a lately research that some alien planets have been destroyed.

Apparently, in their way of trying to find planets similar to the earth, they have discovered four agonizing stars that are making their own solar system collapse.

The study directed by astrophysicists at the University of Warwick in the U.K. shows that the material which was caught surrounding the White dwarfs (stars in their last stage) is very similar to what we can find in our Milky Way, specifically in our planet.

Using the Hubble Space Telescope, they found out 80 white dwarfs that, as the earth, the material that is still rotating around them is made of oxygen, iron, magnesium, and silicon. Essential elements which are part of the 93% of our planet.

Also it was found a little portion of carbon. This is also similar to our reality. According to the investigation this low amounts are not very common to find, actually it’s the first time that they are found in so distant galaxies.



What does this has to do with us? Well, the researchers said that this can be a quick look to what is going to happen with our sun in a far away future. Do you think that those planets were habited? Are they still alive?
