If you have ever caught yourself wondering how much longer is the sun going to keep shining, as in, literally, how long will it continue to support life on this planet we call Earth, then we have some good news and bad news for you.
As we all have learned in our lives, all good things must come to an end. Yes, even the sun. Unfortunately, when the sun comes to an end so does everything else in our solar system.
It is for that very important reason that scientists thought it might be important to keep an eye on the center of our universe and see if they can determine exactly when the sun will explode. Not that knowing when it will happen will in any way allow us to stop it… or survive.
