Interesting. A similar demise for Earth beginning in about a billion years when our sun becomes about 10% hotter than it currently is. That’s enough to evaporate out oceans and make the Earth uninhabitable, but Mars could become habitable. Then after a few mo billion years the sun becomes a red giant. That’s when things get really heavy.

“a few mo billion”. -10 sp. My bad, for shame, for shame.
I thought it was 5 years 3 months?
Umm ... so we’re all going to die in maybe a billion years?
I know I can’t put that on the calendar, not sure about my phone that could take some time scrolling ahead.
Maybe I should check the weather forecast for that day or send an early birthday present to one of my progeny in the next billion years. Think I’ll ship it book rate as there’s no real rush and I’ll save some money.
Just FYI - when the our Sun goes with a major CME you’ve got like 10 minutes and it won’t hit the news before the Earth is gone. You should probably make sure your living will is up to date. Maybe water the plants too.
