Dead Star Offers a Glimpse Into Our Solar System's Future

Original: Dead Star Offers a Glimpse Into Our Solar System’s Future

Scientists are pointing to a dead star, most likely a white dwarf, as a preview of what awaits our own solar system billions of years from now. When the Sun exhausts its fuel, it is expected to swell into a red giant and then collapse into a similar stellar remnant, consuming or disrupting nearby planets in the process. Studying such remnants helps researchers predict Earth's long-term fate.

Why now: Interest in new research on stellar remnants that illuminates the eventual fate of the Sun and Earth.
