New research suggests the sun may have swallowed a super-Earth planet in the distant past. The Royal Astronomical Society reports that 'fingerprints' inside the sun could reveal if it once swallowed a planet. According to Astrobiology Web, these fingerprints could be the remnants of a massive planet consumed by the sun. WTHR and 9News also report on this new research, suggesting it may have consumed a super-Earth. Mashable and Gizmodo also pick up on this story, with Mashable stating that the sun may have eaten a missing super-Earth.

The Royal Astronomical Society notes that the sun's magnetic field could hold the key to understanding its past. However, there is no clear consensus on how this research was conducted or what its implications are. However, these claims are not supported by the primary research and should be viewed with caution. Coverage from RBC-Ukraine and Gizmodo suggests that the sun's destructive power is still unknown, while other outlets focus on the potential implications of this research. However, the primary research does not provide a clear answer to this question.

The current state of the research is that the sun's magnetic field may hold the key to understanding its past. Further research is needed to confirm or deny these findings. The Royal Astronomical Society emphasizes the importance of continued investigation into the sun's magnetic field and its potential 'fingerprints'.
