The Planet that Seize to Exists; Planet Fomalhaut b

Did you hear of a planet that was discovered in the mid 2000’s? This planet was described as Fomalhaut b, it was described as the first world that was found outside the earth’s solar system that could be viewed directly.
In the past, researchers have often shared the news of finding a new planet which later appears to be false. The effect that shadows produced as researchers moved in front of the stars, often made them believe falsely that they had found a new planet, but the case of the Fomalhaut b, was different because it was discovered through several years of observing through the NASA’s Hubble space telescope.

Astronomers actually feel that what they had considered to be a planet never existed at all and they felt it could have been a cloud of dust that was left in the aftermath of a cosmic collision- that has since billowed out so much that it is now invincible.

Astronomers have given a different conclusion where they stated their observations made them believe that two icy bodies smashed into each other, leaving behind particles of cloud fine dust and this fine dust particles was actually visible through space. This discovery is what was made some years ago and we are now made to believe that it is some sort of false news as there was no new planet.

These collisions are exceedingly rare and so this is a big deal that we actually get to see evidence of one
As much as this news seem to appear as a false one to the public, scientist are glad because it has exposed their intellectuals to a new world of research, they claim it would help them get adequate result on the planets that exist, how they seize to exist and the methods involved in getting themselves destroyed.

The Fomalhaut star system is the ultimate test lab for all of our ideas about how exoplanets and star systems evolve___ George Rieke.

George explained that collisions like this usually happens in other solar systems, but it has never happened before in our own, he confidently mentioned that this is an example of the way planets get themselves destroyed all the time.

The new paper proposes that the planet was actually the slowly expanding dust from a long ago collision that sent dust billowing into space.
While there are still arguments between if the planet actually existed at all and if it disappeared, there are images that claim to serve as a prove of the total disappearance of the planet.
