As our Sun ages and evolves into a white dwarf, the planets within our solar system face drastically different futures.
While Earth's destiny-whether engulfed or spared by the expanding Sun-remains uncertain, it's clear that Mercury and Venus are likely to be consumed, according to insights from a new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
