It makes you wonder...

Every atom in your body was once a part of another star at some time in the remote past..................

Didn’t the original Star Trek have an episode like that? As I recall, it was shaped like a giant bugle. They disabled it by setting a crippled starship to explode when it got deep into its throat.

In about 4 billion years, give or take a million or two, the Sun will become a Red Giant as its supply of Hydrogen dwindles down.

Then . . . not even Superman can save us.

Wasn't that part of a Twilight Zone episode? Midnight Sun?

The Earth, Venus, Mercury and Mars and anything within that Martian orbit will be burned to a cinder forever.

So...there's hope for the Jovian moons?

Very small hope.

Even at the size of Mars orbit, the distance from the Sun to Jupiter would be about 3.5 AUs, or 3.5 times the distance from our present Earth to the Sun.

The Sun, being a Red Giant at that time, will put out less heat energy to the remaining planets and their moons, so they will still be cold..............

"...Ask any astronaut or astronomer and they’ll tell you: Space wants to kill us. ..."

Or more succinctly, eventually, space will kill us. ALL OF US.

Nearly all of us will be long dead before space gets close enough to kill anyone.

Actually it’s Gravity that will kill us all, not ‘space’..................

LOL! Maybe we could all run to Guam and help tip the Earth’s orbit towards the Sun.
