How do giant planets end up orbiting dangerously close to their stars? New simulations suggest that supersonic shock waves in their atmospheres can drain orbital energy, driving planets inward.Depending on the intensity of these disruptions, a planet may settle into a tighter orbit or lose much of its atmosphere. This mechanism could help explain the mysterious distribution of hot Jupiters and other giant exoplanets.Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
