Revealing the image of the Sun when destroyed

NASA's Hubble telescope has recorded images of the dying star HD 184738. This process will also happen with our Sun in the future.

The new Hubble image shows the star HD 184,738 (also known as Campbell's Hydrogen star) in the center of the small planetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus (the constellation of the Swans) that is coming to the end.

This star has a bright orange red color due to nitrogen and hydrogen gas. HD 184,738 has a low mass, like the Sun, is undergoing its outer expansion.

A strange similarity is the dust clouds surrounding HD 184.738 which are very similar in composition to the Earth. Scientists are not sure about the origin of this dust, but it is easy to imagine that it is all that remains of a population of planets.

The image of HD 184,738 is now exactly what will happen to our Sun 5 billion years when this object is destroyed.

About 5 billion years or more, our Sun will use up all the hydrogen to generate energy and gradually turn into a planet filled with helium and it starts to be destroyed.

The core of the Sun becoming hotter will expand, gradually becoming a giant star of size reaching to the orbit of the Earth and swallowing our planet.

Chemical reactions continue to occur until the Sun loses its weight, leaving only the same sized core as Earth. The dense core emitting white light is called a white dwarf.
