The End of the World as We Know It': NASA Researchers Determine When the Sun Will Destroy Earth
Space is the final frontier - the next great adventure awaiting human exploration. The popularization of space travel by billionaire adventurers has reintroduced a mass interest in space that has not been seen since the 1960s and '70s with NASA’s Apollo missions.
But as exciting as space travel is, it may be a necessity for the survival of the human race. Researchers working with NASA have determined when the sun will burn off the oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere, ending all life on Earth. Don’t panic. We still have until the year 1,000,002,021. The end of the world Oxygen is essential for life here on Earth. However, the atmosphere has been harmed by the sun’s radiation and exacerbated by human damage, particularly in the form of greenhouse gases. In a research paper published in 2021, scientists determined that all life on Earth would cease to exist following the mass deoxygenation of the planet. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/it-s-the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it-nasa-researchers-determine-when-the-sun-will-destroy-earth/ar-AA19JOFG

2. Actually surprised it's that soon
I think I remember reading the Earth would be okay until the Sun goes into a Red Giant phase, and they didn't think that would be for 2-4 billion more years. This is only a single billion.

8. The Earth's life could be extended by moving its orbit.
But eventually the red giant Sol will get it when it blows off it’s outer layers and becomes a white dwarf.

11. I'm not worrying about the sun. It's the humans that are destroying our Earth that worry me.

16. Life will live on after humans are gone
No matter what we do to screw it up, the Earth has a way of renewing itself. It may take a few million years, but there will be animals scurrying around until the Sun starts going nuts.

12. A lot can happen in a billion years.
I doubt the human species will last anywhere near that long.
