A supercomputer has predicted that survival on Earth will be impossible in about 1 billion years when conditions become too extreme for life as we know it.
Scientists with NASA and Japan's Toho University used the computer to determine that the sun will end life on Earth around the year 1,000,002,021 due to its expansion and increased output that will heat the planet beyond the threshold of life.
Research from 2021 by Kazumi Ozaki and Christopher T. Reinhard explained that Earth eventually won't have enough oxygen to sustain life, highlighting the importance for the search for life on Earth-like planets beyond our Solar System.
The study of Earth's eventual demise has been ongoing, with researchers considering the implications of the planet's changing atmospheric conditions for the future.
