The biological and geological future of Earth can be extrapolated based on the estimated effects of several long-term influences. These include the chemistry at Earth's surface, the cooling rate of the planet's interior, gravitational interactions with other objects in the Solar System, and a steady increase in the Sun's luminosity.
There is a roughly one percent chance that Jupiter's gravity may make Mercury's orbit so eccentric as to cross Venus's orbit by this time, sending the inner Solar System into chaos. Other possible scenarios include Mercury colliding with the Sun, being ejected from the Solar System, or colliding with Venus or Earth. [105] [106] 3.5–4.5 billion
Evacuate Earth is a National Geographic Channel documentary that portrays the hypothetical scenario of humans evacuating the planet Earth before it is destroyed by a rogue neutron star. The documentary details the technical and social complications of building a generation ship to save humanity and other Earth organisms by relocating to a ...

Solar activity was elevated over the past weekend, according to the SWPC, causing solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Those CMEs are expected to arrive starting today and continue through Aug. 1.
This is the third geomagnetic storm to reach G4 status during the current 11-year solar cycle, which began in 2019, officials said.
The Solar System remains in a relatively stable, slowly evolving state by following isolated, gravitationally bound orbits around the Sun. [28] Although the Solar System has been fairly stable for billions of years, it is technically chaotic, and may eventually be disrupted. There is a small chance that another star will pass through the Solar ...
This map shows where the aurora borealis could be visible tonight as a severe solar storm targets the Earth. If the storm hits as forecast, it could push the northern lights as far south as Alabama.
