Summary:
- Astronomers have identified a unique "sub-Neptune" exoplanet, TOI-1355 b, which orbits its host star in a remarkably short period of just 1.5 days.
- Due to the phenomenon of orbital decay caused by tidal interactions with its star, the planet is spiraling inward and is projected to be consumed by its host star by the year 2033.
- This discovery provides critical data for researchers studying planetary migration and the long-term evolution of star-planet systems.
