Our Solar System Is Terminally Unstable and Will Be Completely Destroyed, Study Finds
The estimated lifespan of the outer solar system has been downgraded from 100 billion years to just a few billion years, according to a study that probed “terminal instability” during the Sun’s death.
Our solar system may be on a collision course with destruction, according to a new study. Researchers have found that Earth's poles are not stable and are prone to rapid changes, known as true polar wander. These episodes can shift the geographic poles by thousands of miles over millions of years, with implications for ocean and land distribution globally. Additionally, the study reveals that atmospheric formaldehyde on Mars may have played a role in the emergence of life if life ever thrived on the red planet.
