Is the world coming to an end? Scientists' Prediction: This is when the earth's life cycle ends

Stars are born, live and die. The sun is no different, and it will 'die' one day. While some others think that the sun existed before the birth of mankind and will continue to exist until eternity. But recently there is a group of studies that believe they have deciphered the way our star will cease to exist. The team of astronomers and physicists, led by Professor Albert Zijstra of the University of Manchester, believes that the end of the Sun will appear in a form of "spatial glory" called the planetary nebula.

According to this study, which has taken about a decade, in its last years, when the Sun is burning the remaining hydrogen, it will turn into a huge red giant, spreading 250 times from the current mass .

"When a star dies it throws gas and cosmic dust into space in an amount equal to half of it. The rest is the nucleus, which glows white and continues to burn the little fuel it has left for at least another 10,000 years, a little time in astronomy, ”says Professor Zijstra, one of the most influential names in astronomy.

This means that the Sun at this stage will have swallowed the Earth and all the other planets of our system, while as for the fate of mankind, do not worry! We, if we had not left here, we would have long since disappeared. After that, comes the phase of dust and space gas that will circulate through space for millions of years until the moment when a new cycle will begin, ie the formation of another solar system, reports tch.

Scientists base their theory on the fact that 90 percent of the nebulae observed since the early 1990s indicate that they originated from an extinct system. Their dilemma was whether our Sun has the necessary mass to become one or not. Until recently it was believed that no, but after the latest analysis performed thanks to the development of supercomputer technology, the result turns out to be the opposite.

The full study report of international scientists was published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
