Future vision of the solar system

The ruins of the two planets following the dying central star, 3,900 light-years ago, provide the clearest view for astronomers about the future of the solar system in about 5 billion years.

The planets KOI 55.01 and KOI 55.02 are moving in the near orbit of a star in a 'red giant' state , the period in which it used most of the fuel and grew bigger and bigger, according to research published. in Nature.

These unfortunate planet pairs are about 76% and 87% larger than the Earth, but they can be many times larger. This is due to being too close to the central star, they are 'baked' continuously before the intense heat of the fierce gas, according to the speculation of experts from the University of Montreal (Canada) and the University of Toulouse (France) . Because they are too close to red giants, their surface temperatures reach 8,000 degrees Celsius.

Returning to the solar system, the final sun can expand to the position of the current Mars, and as a result, the earth will be crushed in the process.
