Earth May Outlast the Sun’s Death, New Study Finds
TL;DR Summary
A new study in Astronomy and Astrophysics suggests Earth could survive the Sun’s 5-billion-year demise, depending on whether tidal forces pull Earth inward or the Sun’s mass loss pushes Earth outward. Observations of the nearby dying star L2 Puppis inform these models, but the outcome remains uncertain and requires better data. Even if Earth endures, the Sun’s increasing heat will make the planet uninhabitable long before the final collapse, and humanity would not survive the event.
