Astronomers have developed a method to analyze the Sun's interior for chemical signatures, suggesting it may have consumed a "super-Earth" – a rocky planet several times more massive than our own – early in its life. This finding could resolve discrepancies between existing solar models and observed data regarding the Sun’s internal structure and lithium abundance, potentially explaining why our solar system lacks super-Earths while others don't. Future research will focus on independently verifying these predicted chemical fingerprints within the Sun to confirm this intriguing hypothesis.
