Wait for Twitter:
DAMMIT, They still would have been around it Trump reacted faster! Trump lied! Planets died!
OK. I consider it as undiscovered.
Now how did they figure that out? It's rather astonishing that astronomers can detect exoplanets at all, but detecting a cosmic collision of two relatively small objects and the dust they left behind -- wow.
A bit off topic, but the author wrote "the dust cloud is made up of minute particles a 50th of the diameter of a human hair." I am shocked, shocked he didn't say "50 times smaller than a human hair" as most writers are wont to do these days.
Fomalhaut b didn’t kill itself.
Just another cover up. Don’t Panic!
What really happened was that the Outer Space Aliens from Outer Space saw us looking at the planet, thought we might be making a move toward that planet, and so they snatched it up and moved it to where we can’t see it.
Greedy bastiges.
Icy asteroid! STRAIGHT AHEAD!!
But they were positive it was a planet.
Just a positive that they wont be able to bamboozle us with our own money any longer if we stop giving it to them.
If it was named Alderaan, I think I know what happened.
Fun to watch...
From a safe distance.
The basis for a movie titled: “When Balls Collide...Ouch”?
“Two icy asteroids” - 2 aloof rump rangers in SF?
They were just trying to get away from the Vogon poetry.
After a millenia or two of that, an interspace bypass no doubt starts so sound like a good idea.
I don’t see how you can have a giant dust cloud out there in space. Space is practically a vacuum, and vacuums are pretty good at dealing with dust.
The more we learn, the more we learn that we don’t know.
Piece of lint on the big lens....
It was SG-1 and Amanda Carter or Rodney McKay that destroyed a solar system.
