Spiraling closer and closer to annihilation, this exoplanet is on a collision path with its host star. The doomed world, Kepler-1658b, is about the size of Jupiter. In a first for astronomers, its decaying orbit was first observed using the Kepler space telescope over many years. Death-by-star is a fate thought to await many worlds. In billions of years, colliding into the Sun could be the Earth's ultimate adios. The lead author of the study is Shreyas Vissapragada of the Center for Astrophysics Harvard & Smithsonian.
