Scientists at the Washington Institute of Science and Space Telescoping have claimed that ancient sun-like stars have found signs that they "eat" the large planets and other objects in the orbits of their surroundings. These signs are remnants of gases, infrared light, increased rotation speed of planets and lithium waste. Stars grow as they age and become "red giants." If the planets are like Jupiter, the flying star will grow more and become brighter as the gravitational field of the planet is acquired.

But our star, the Sun, seems to come to this situation within 5,000 million years.
