Will the Sun Ever Burn Out - We Asked a NASA Expert

About

Will the Sun ever burn out? Not quite, but it will change dramatically. Like all stars, it’s going through a life cycle powered by nuclear fusion. Right now, it’s halfway through its 10-billion-year lifetime. Eventually, the Sun will expand into a red giant, engulfing the inner planets, then collapse into a white dwarf — a small, hot, dim remnant of its former self. A NASA scientist explains what’s ahead for our star. Learn more about our Sun: https://nasa.gov/sun Producers: Scott Bednar, Pedro Cota, Jessie Wilde Editor: James Lucas Credit: NASA
