"Astronomers have found what appears to be a gigantic suicidal planet.
The odd, fiery planet is so close to its star and so large that it is triggering tremendous plasma tides on the star. Those powerful tides are in turn warping the planet's zippy less-than-a-day orbit around its star.
The result: an ever-closer tango of death, with the planet eventually spiraling into the star."

This my thought this morning as I read this story. How many good, bad or indifferent people, have you watched do a, Tango of death, as they seem to boob and sway closer and closer to that which will end in a fiery death?
Just a thought as I pass through this day.

Sobering thought - but one we should all think about.
