Andrew Harvard Simpson Center for Astrophysics Scientist Andrew Vanderburg said his group witnessed a unique cosmic phenomenon, on the basis of which astronomers concluded when our planet ceases to exist.
Researchers observed the star WD 1145 + 017, similar to our sun. At the time of observation, scientists saw at the same time white dwarf, the remnants of the planet and space debris. Star, being like a yellow dwarf Sun, has used up its supply nuclear fuel, after which it increased to the red giant, and Then it shrank to a white dwarf. The size of the white dwarf is very small, but the mass of the star remains the same. At the moment when the star becomes a red giant, it destabilizes the orbits of the planets, located in her system.
Scientists say that the same fate awaits the Earth. The sun by According to forecasts, it will use up its stock in 5-7 billion years. After of this, the Sun will either “swallow” the Earth, becoming a huge red giant, or heat it to an incredible temperature.
