Beneath the Sun's churning surface, astronomers suspect a secret older than Earth itself may be written in the language of chemistry: the remains of a consumed world, a super-Earth swallowed in the solar system's violent infancy. Researchers now propose that the gravitational cannibalism of a planet ten times Earth's mass could have left detectable chemical fingerprints within the Sun's interior, preserved across billions of years. If confirmed, this would reframe our understanding of planetary formation not as a story of orderly emergence, but of brutal selection — where some worlds survived
