This is The Last Flare of The Sun

Recreation of the sun become a red giant

It’s still a middle-aged star, but its activity one day come to an end. And she will go to ruin everything we know as the Solar System. However, the sun king will not say goodbye, simply turning off the lights. His farewell will, like all stars, brutal.

The Sun has an estimated age of 4,650 million years and it is believed that their resources will allow you to shine at least another 5,500 million. Hardly the man is there to see what will happen then, but the spectacle will be, at least, creepy.

A day that makes up its hydrogen fuel is running low. The observation through space telescopes other stars at the end of his life can guess which will begin thereafter. The first consequence is its transformation into a red giant. That is, in a last effort to survive, its mass will begin to expand out of control, up to 200 times its current size, devastating everything in its path. “A star is destined to rise a phoenix for a while from the ashes,” said Carl Sagan on this point.

As they enlarge, Mercury and Venus will succumb absorbed by the Sun simply be reduced to ashes. And most likely the Earth will also end by being swallowed. If not, some theories suggest that the thrust force of the Sun will release the planet outside the solar system, but not before completely incinerated. Earth, would thus become an inert mass of rock that float through space to stop colliding and destroying against another body.

The Sun, undeterred by the fate of their nearest planets, will continue its unstoppable process of death. In their struggle to survive burn every ounce of fuel to off, reducing its new size and become what is known as a white dwarf. Mind you, even give off heat for some time. And that could take thousands of millions of years cool completely. The planets of the Solar System that have survived will be dark. Still out of luck, as the sun being a massive star would explode in a supernova destroying the entire solar system.

The question is whether the last day of the solar flare the human species will be disseminated through the universe or, simply, like many, will have died.
