Scientists have confirmed Elon Musk’s warning that life on Earth will eventually be destroyed by the sun, with new research pinpointing when that could happen
NASA and Tōhō University researchers used advanced simulations to predict Earth’s fate, finding that rising temperatures and dwindling oxygen will make survival impossible by the year 1,000,002,021
As the sun expands over the next five billion years, Musk continues to push for Mars colonisation
At this point, the swollen red giant would likely engulf Mercury, Venus, and possibly Earth, marking the ultimate end of the planet.
This prediction aligns with long-standing warnings from NASA, which previously noted that the sun is still less than halfway through its lifecycle and is expected to last for another five billion years.
