Astronomers find Sun-like star that devoured its own planets
US-based astronomers have discovered a Sun-like star dubbed Kronos, and its binary twin Krios about 350 light-years away from Earth. They estimated Kronos consumed around 15 Earth masses of rocky material. The team based their claims on finding compositional differences between Kronos and Krios for elements like iron, silicon, magnesium and lithium, which make up rocky planets like Earth.
