NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory spots young exoplanet rapidly shrinking in rare cosmic meltdown 330 light-years away
Astronomers observe a dramatic event on exoplanet TOI 1227 b. This young gas planet is losing its atmosphere quickly. Intense X-ray radiation from its red dwarf star is the cause. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory helps in the discovery. Scientists believe this offers insights into planetary evolution. The planet is unlikely to support life.
