Discovered 'assassin planets' in outer space

A group of American researchers believe that the star RZ Piscium, located 550 light years from Earth in the constellation Pisces, is capable of destroying small planets flying around it.

US astronomers have discovered that the uneven dark phenomenon of RZ Piscium star may be due to the giant clouds of dust and gas flying around it.

RZ Piscium star has clouds of dust and gas flying around.

Astronomers found that the brightness of the RZ Piscium star decreased 10 times during the period of every 2 days.

At that time, the star began to emit more energy in the infrared spectrum, which showed the presence of one. Earlier, scientists saw RZ Piscium as a young star, surrounded by a dense and often colliding and crushing one another.

Using modern telescopes, scientists have tried to determine how old RZ Piscium is about 30 to 50 million years old and at this age, RZ Piscium is considered quite young.

However, according to another hypothesis, RZ Piscium may be older than the Sun and begin to expand into a giant red star. By increasing the size, it will destroy the planets that fly around it and this may explain the existence of a cloud of dust and gas flying around RZ Piscium.
