Evidence of an apocalypse in another planetary system

Evidence of an apocalypse in a planetary system similar to our own has been uncovered by astronomers studying a dying star.

This image obtained October 9, 2013 courtesy of MPIA / V. Ch. Quetz shows an artist's conception of the planet PSO J318.5-22 in the constellation of Capricornus. Astronomers said October 9, 2013 they have found a lonely planet outside the solar system floating alone in space and not orbiting a star. The gaseous exoplanet, dubbed PSO J318.5-22, is just 80 light years from Earth and has a mass only six times that of Jupiter. Having formed 12 million years ago, the planet is considered a newborn among its peers. The planet is extremely cold and faint, about 100 billion times fainter in optical light than the planet Venus.
