“Our Solar System’s Five-Billion-Year Future” by Prof. Melinda Soares-Furtado, UW-Madison Dept. of Astronomy

What is the eventual fate of the Sun? What will become of the inner rocky bodies?  What is the eventual fate of Earth? This talk will discuss the late-stage evolution of our Sun and its impact on bodies within the Solar System, contrasting the fate of the Solar System with some of the late-stage exoplanets that have been discovered over the past three decades — including planets that orbit long-dead stars!
