Stars are fuelled by hydrogen, which they burn at an extraordinary rate until the gas runs out, at which point they expand hundreds of times in size into gargantuan red giants, consuming anything and everything in their path. In the case of the ESO’s latest video, this includes the Earth. //www.youtube.com/embed/MXqwRYaa1qA It’s only a matter of time before our Sun reaches this phase of its life (in about...
