Our Solar System May Be Destroyed 100 Times Faster Than We Thought

A new study by Caltech and University of Michigan researchers suggests the outer Solar System may collapse 100 times faster than previously estimated. The Sun’s mass loss will occur in 4,600 turbulent kicks rather than smoothly, destabilizing planetary orbits. Simulations indicate that in 80 percent of scenarios, outer planets will cross paths or be ejected long before the Sun becomes a white dwarf.
