Kronos: Devourer Of Worlds

The video explores the story of HD 24043, known as Kronos and Kreios, focusing on their formation as a wide binary star system. Despite forming from the same molecular cloud, these stars exhibit significant chemical differences, suggesting that Kronos may have consumed its planets. The video discusses the implications of this discovery for understanding star formation, galactic mass distribution, and planetary systems. Future research using Gaia data aims to uncover more about planet-eating stars and the planet formation process.
