'Completely bonkers': Astronomers find evidence of a cataclysmic collision between exoplanets

Astronomers have witnessed evidence of an extremely violent collision between planets, and it resembles the event in Earth's history that created the moon.

Astronomers witness ‘dramatic’ collision of two planets — and they think it’s a replay of how our moon was created

Astronomers have witnessed a rare and violent cosmic crash between two planets, and they say the fallout could teach us about the formation of our world.

Astronomers Discover Violent Planetary Collision in Distant Star System

Astronomers have uncovered evidence of a rare and violent collision between two planets orbiting a star known as Gaia20ehk, located over 11,000 light-years from Earth. The unprecedented discovery, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, offers an extraordinary glimpse into the violent processes that shaped our own solar system billions of years ago, suggesting that planetary impacts like the one that created Earth’s moon may be more comm…
