According to a new study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics (June 19, 2026), Earth may avoid being swallowed by the expanding Sun during its red giant phase in about 5 billion years.Previously, it was widely believed that tidal forces would drag our planet into the Sun. However, updated models show that the Sun’s mass loss due to stellar wind will outweigh tidal interactions. As a result, Earth is likely to drift outward to a safer orbit and survive. Mercury and Venus will still be engulfed, while Mars, like Earth, is expected to escape. The Sun will eventually become a white dwarf.
Incredible video of a supernova remnant in motion!
It took 25 years to create this animation, showing how Kepler's Supernova (SN 1604) changes and expands over time!
This data was collected by the Chandra X-ray telescope (blue tones). The X-ray data was superimposed on visible-light images obtained by the Pan-STARRS observatory.
Voyager 1 and the Epic Journey Through the Oort Cloud Even though Voyager 1 has already entered interstellar space, it’s still deep inside our Solar System in the grandest https://t.co/YIDuNUmSWK will take roughly 300 years for humanity’s farthest spacecraft to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud — the vast, spherical shell of icy comets and frozen debris that marks the true outer boundary of our Solar System.Once there, crossing the entire Oort Cloud will take another ~30,000 years.That means Voyager 1 will spend tens of thousands of years silently drifting through this enormous region — a cosmic wilderness stretching up to 100,000 AU (nearly 2 light-years) from the Sun, filled with trillions of icy https://t.co/jPDvNrVMBY the time it finally emerges on the other side, it will have been traveling for over 30,000 years since leaving the planets behind… and it will still be only barely beginning its true journey into the wider Milky Way. A humbling reminder of just how vast our Solar System really is — and how small we are in the grand timeline of space exploration. Voyager’s voyage is only getting started.
