Earth and the Moon will be most likely be destroyed by falling into the Sun, just before the Sun reaches the largest of its red giant phase when it will be 256 times larger than it is now. Before the final collision, the Moon possibly spirals below Earth's Roche limit, breaking into a ring of debris, most of which falls to Earth's surface. [216 ...
While it is approaching Earth, Barnard's Star will not make its closest approach to the Sun until around AD 11,700, when it will approach to within some 3.8 light-years. [79] This is only slightly closer than the closest star to the Sun ( Proxima Centauri ) lies today.

The Flat Earther mentality believes that the Earth is shaped like a disk and the sun and the moon rotate around each over above the Earth’s surface (the Earth itself does not rotate).
The estimated time until the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun today, at a distance of 4.25 light-years, leaves the main sequence and becomes a white dwarf. [137] 10 13 (10 trillion) The estimated time of peak habitability in the universe, unless habitability around low-mass stars is suppressed. [138] 1.2×10 13 (12 ...
The book discusses Earth's future and eventual demise as it is ultimately destroyed by a warming and expanding Sun.The Earth's lifespan is compared to that of a living being, pointing out that the systems which keep it habitable will gradually break down one by one, like the organs in an aging human body.
China tends to conduct its work in space with more secrecy than other countries’ space agencies, suchas Nasa. The motorised rover Zhurong, named after a mythical Chinese god of fire, was ...
