A new model explains the chemical mysteries of globular #clusters! 💡 These groups of #stars contain elements in abundances that had defied any explanation 🤔 #IEEC researchers at the @icc-ub.bsky.social have led this work. @ub.edu @icreacommunity.bsky.social #MNRAS 👉 www.ieec.cat/en/extremely...

The ageing of host stars can be catastrophic for planets! Our new research into this planet population shows that the evolution of stars causes giant planets to spiral into their host stars and be destroyed. Check out the press release below and paper (published in MNRAS today!) for more
