Scientists Found a New Planet, but Something Strange Happened: It Vanished

In twenty oh eight scientists checked pictures taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and found one puzzling thing. It turned out that in twenty oh four, the telescope managed to photograph an exoplanet located in a star system called Fomalhaut. It was clearly visible in the photo, which is a bit of unexpected luck. Planet Dagon was glowing so surprisingly bright as if it wanted to be found. In 2020 scientists studied the photo taken by Hubble once again and discovered that the planet had simply vanished back in twenty fourteen! In this video, you’ll find out: can a planet evaporate? Why are there so many inconsistencies in the version NASA came up with? And most importantly, where could the whole planet disappear to?
