A group of scientists sets a date for the end of the earth

A group of scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard University, California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and other research centers They have discovered how the end of the earth will be. Although it is true, until now, it was already known that the light of the Sun will end and with it, the remaining life in the solar system, now experts can get an idea. What does the process look like?

Because it has already happened. Not yet in the solar system, but in the Milky Way, about 12,000 light-years away. Scientists have long followed the process of a star entering the final phase of its life: it Getting a large size and a red color. During the process, as it spreads, it pulls a planet into its orbit until it is swallowed up.

“We are seeing the future of Earth,” said one of the study’s authors, Dr Dr. Kishale T, Dell MITIn reports collected by a British newspaper telegram. It also happens to the orbiting star, the Sun, but not instantaneously. It will happen in five billion yearsWhen the star burns, it does the same with all the planets around it.

Now, “If another civilization It was watching us from 10,000 light years away They will see the sun suddenly shining, just as the sun has overwhelmed the earth It threw some stuff outThen dust will form around it. Before returning to what it is”, added the expert.

How did you find this process?

Es This is the first time a team of scientists has discovered this process. So far the focus has been on what happened before and what followed. But no one has ever seen a star absorb a planet. They found him by accident because, first, Researchers looked for other types of motion in space.

In particular, they sought to discover interstellar star systems. However, they found a star, In 10 days, had become 100 times brighter. But the energy scientists found was too low to merge with another star. Therefore, the merger with the star should be small. For example, like a planet.

It was like that. It is, moreover, It was the size of Jupiter. As it interacted with the star’s core, its outer layers exploded. Then the remains continued settle in cold dust form.
