The afterglow of a huge planetary collision refers to the long-term ramifications and visible effects of a high-impact clash between two enormous celestial bodies.The star received the name ASASSN-21qj in recognition of the network of telescopes that initially observed its fading luminosity. “Our calculations and computer models indicate the temperature and size of the glowing material, as well as the amount of time the glow has lasted, is consistent with the collision of two ice giant exoplanets,” said Simon Lock, co-lead author and research fellow at the University of Bristol.
