Decades of constant X-ray emission from the Helix Nebula’s white dwarf suggest debris from a Jupiter-sized planet steadily rains upon the star.

Now, data from two X-ray telescopes, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton, has uncovered the grim fate of a planet there. The Helix Nebula is called a ...

Located 1,300 light-years from Earth, the nebula has long presented astronomers with a wealth of celestial objects to study, including planet-forming disks around young stars and brown dwarfs, or ...

Their planet-forming disks are being eroded by powerful ultraviolet light emitted from massive stars in the nebula, principally the bright and hot star called theta-1 Orionis C.

This discovery marks a major breakthrough in astronomy and the ongoing search for planets outside our solar system.
