Sun Like Star Absorbs Own Planets

Researchers have found evidence to show that a Sun-like star 550 light years from Earth is slowly consuming its "offspring" -- crushing one or more planets in its orbit into vast clouds of gas and dust - like the ancient Greek god Cronus who devoured his children.

Scientists have discovered Sun-like twin stars, one of which may have ingested a dozen or more of its own rocky planets, located 350 light years from Earth.
