Employees of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, USA, who witnessed the unique cosmic phenomenon, based on it make assumptions about the timing of the disappearance of the Earth. This is with reference to the Sci-News reports RIA “Novosti”.

The discovery was made by observing the behavior of stars WD 1145 + 017.
like our sun, having spent the entire nuclear energy first increases to a state of red giant and then reduced to the size of the white dwarf, while maintaining the original weight.
In August 2915 astrophysicists have managed to capture in a single system at the same time a white dwarf, the remnants of the other planets and space debris. The relationship between the three objects due to the fact that once the star becomes a red giant, it destabilizes the orbits of the planets around them.
“We found the white dwarf at a time when it destroys our planet and throwing the remains on the surface of the star “- said the head of the group of researchers Andrew Vanderburgh.
The same fate awaits our planet. According to forecasts, the sun will swallow the Earth in about 5-7 billion years. There is also the possibility that self-absorption does not happen, however, “to live on a hot planet would be impossible”, said Vanderburgh.
The reasons and dates of death of life on Earth scientists have repeatedly refined. Most of the apocalyptic scenarios associated with climate change and promise death of all life long before our planet will absorb the sun. There was even drawn up a detailed timetable for destruction of the earth, painted before 2200.
