Our Sun will not explode like other stars. Instead, it will slowly expand into a red giant, consuming inner planets. This ...
Stars like the Sun are remarkably constant. They vary in brightness by only 0.1% over years and decades, thanks to the fusion of hydrogen into helium that powers them. This process will keep the Sun ...
Imagining every drop of Earth’s water hurled into the Sun sounds like a last-ditch cosmic fire extinguisher, but the physics ...
LIFE on Earth was almost wiped out when a distant star exploded nearly 360millions years ago, according to a new study. The supernova 65 light years away is thought to have caused a mass extinction ...
Even though it is estimated that our fiery ball of gas is going to die out trillions of years in the future, there will be many changes that will happen much sooner, heralding the end of our Solar ...
THE closest red supergiant star to Earth will inevitably explode as it continues to pulsate from bright to dim twice as fast as usual. Betelgeuse underwent “the great dimming” between 2019-2020 and ...
This artist's animation illustrates a massive asteroid belt in orbit around a star the same age and size as our Sun. NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA’s tracking system has spotted three asteroids that are ...
NASA is currently monitoring two asteroids that are currently heading towards Earth. If these asteroids hit the planet, they’ll most likely cause a powerful explosion in the air. According to the ...
