It was thought that the Earth would end up swallowed by the Sun when it turned into a giant star, but our planet could eventually escape this cruel destiny, according to a study published on Friday.
A new scientific study suggests that the Earth would not necessarily be devoured by the Sun during its transformation into a red giant, thanks to a balance between loss of stellar mass and
The Earth may not be swallowed up after all when the Sun dies in 5 billion years. This is the conclusion of new research led by KU Leuven. Until now, scientists assumed that the Earth would disappear when the Sun grew into a giant star.

For decades, one of astronomy’s most widely accepted predictions has been that Earth’s final chapter would end inside the Sun. As our star exhausts its nuclear fuel and expands into a massive red giant billions of years from now, scientists believe it would eventually engulf the inner planets—including Earth. A new study, however, is challenging that long-held assumption. Researchers now say there is a realistic possibility that Earth could esca…
