Earth to go splat on the Sun like bugs on windshield
Pravda

Researchers at the European Southern Observatory suggested that planets could go splat against their stars like bugs on a windshield. The researchers put forth their theory after examining the spectrum of the stellar systems located next to the Sun.

The planetsÂ’ orbits are upset by gravitational disturbances caused by the impact of parent stars. The disturbances may as well be due to other reasons that remain to be seen. As a result, the planets fall into the fiery pits of hell. The majority of planets in the vicinity of their parent stars are doomed for destruction.
