A fiery red dwarf star is seen in the background. In the foreground, a tiny black orb transits in front. Around the black orb is a purple hazy atmosphere that's blowing away on either side.

Hubble telescope sees an angry star and an evaporating planet

By Monisha Ravisetti published

Quite close to our solar system, an angry red dwarf star is terrorizing a misfortunate planet by ripping away the world's atmosphere.

A broad spiral galaxy seen directly face-on. It has two bright spiral arms that extend from a bar, which shines from the very centre. Additional fainter arms branch off from these, studded with bright blue patches of star formation. Small, distant galaxies are dotted around it, on a dark background.
