Scientists are saying that its discovery can prove to be a ray of hope for the existence of the Earth because one day our Sun will reach its last time. That is, when the Earth will be drowned in darkness forever, then hopes are being raised to settle here. Scientists also estimate that the Earth can potentially avoid being consumed by the sun growing in size every day. Due to which the possibilities of human settlement in the outer solar system can open. For example, Moon such as Europea, Calisto and Genimed, or Saturn near Jupiter can become a possible shelter for future generations.
What is white dwarf?
White Dwarf is actually a star who has consumed all his fuel ie nuclear fuel and is now moving towards extinguishing. In this situation its outer layers are over. Similarly, our sun will also turn into a red gathering shell with fuel ending one day and then shrink will take the form of white dwarf. The future of many planets around will depend on how much its size will increase. Meaning it can swallow planets like Mercury, Venus etc. So will the Earth also fall prey to it?
A study by the University of California has been published in Nature Astronomy. It says that as soon as the sun starts taking a very large shape, it will start pushing the planets of the solar system away from their existing orbit. For this reason, the Earth will also move far away from it, which will increase the chances of its survival. Scientists are saying that the earth may remain fit for some more billions of years. What will be its position at the time of sunlight forever, it cannot be confirmed.
