Lithium in six red dwarfs suggests they swallowed rocky, Earth-like planets—not odd stellar chemistry.
Key takeaways
- **Six red dwarfs appear to carry lithium that should have been destroyed inside them, pointing to swallowed rocky planetary material rather than ordinary stellar chemi...
- The finding comes from researchers at Keele University and the University of Exeter, who studied thousands of stars and identified six red dwarfs with unus...
- For MLXIO readers: this is literal planetary matter, not the smart-home Matter standard we cover in pieces like Retro Lighting Turns Smart as Govee Edison Bulb...
