The planet is called “Gore.”

Your description sounds like it applies to the O administration.

OK zippy is not a word usually associated with astronomy. However seeing a planet slam into a star would be severely cool, as long as you weren't standing on the planet in question. This has Mythbusters written all over it.

It's so unusual to find a suicidal planet that University of Maryland astronomer Douglas Hamilton questioned whether there was another explanation. While it is likely that this is a suicidal planet, Hamilton said it is also possible that some basic physics calculations that all astronomers rely on could be dead wrong. Ah, it all comes down to physics and, potentially, how much we don't know.

Suicidal planet seems on death spiral into star
Suicidal?
Geez!
Suicidal conveys a meaning of choice. Yet, it's "very likely", that the planet didn't make the choice to commit suicide. And, if the term "suicidal" is applicable, would it not have been just as descriptive to refer to the star as "homicidal" or "cannibal"?
Why not have referred to the apparent event as the logical ending to a planet which is being affected by the massive physical forces of two very large masses which are in very close proximity to each other?
