WASP-12b, an exoplanet located 870 light-years away, is being slowly consumed by its host star due to its extremely close orbit, where one year lasts only 26 Earth hours; the star's gravity has stretched the planet into an egg-like shape, causing material to flow from its surface in luminous streams that accrete onto the star, and within 10 million years, the planet will be completely destroyed.
