Artists' impression of the event captured by Hubble in 2004.

The actual planet exploding in 2004

The young star system Fomalhaut is still surrounded by a planetary disk of material, similar to our solar system four billion years ago. When Hubble first imaged the star back in 2004 astronomers noticed a planet in orbit. This is unusual since it's rare for exoplanets to be imaged directly -- they have to be very large, close, and bright.

Astronomers named the planet Dagon and came back to it for further study. Imaging of the planet yielded confusing results. First, it was getting larger and brighter, then it dimmed. It also didn't exhibit the gravitational effects on the surrounding dust that you'd expect from a very large planet.
