científicos calculan la fecha exacta en la que el sol explotará y dará fin al sistema solar
 

La ciencia ha calculado la fecha exacta en la que el Sol explotará y dará fin al sistema solar. Seguramente has visto alguna o varias películas que hablan del fin del mundo, pero, ¿qué es lo que dice la ciencia? Vamos a los detalles.

El Sol se apagará en 5.000 millones de años: científicos calculan la fecha exacta del fin del sistema solar. Un estudio reciente de la Universidad de Warwick en Inglaterra ha determinado la fecha exacta en la que el Sol se apagará y dará fin al sistema solar: dentro de aproximadamente 5.000 millones de años.

En ese momento, el Sol entrará en su fase de gigante roja, expandiéndose hasta engullir los planetas interiores del sistema solar, incluyendo Mercurio, Venus y, posiblemente, la Tierra.

   

Este proceso, explicado por los científicos como parte de la evolución natural de las estrellas, no representa una amenaza inmediata para la humanidad, ya que ocurrirá miles de millones de años en el futuro.

El estudio, publicado en la revista Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, se basó en simulaciones por computadora que modelaron la vida útil del Sol. Los investigadores determinaron que la estrella agotará su combustible nuclear de hidrógeno en aproximadamente 5.000 millones de años, lo que desencadenará una serie de eventos catastróficos.

Primero, el Sol se hinchará hasta convertirse en una gigante roja, aumentando su tamaño cientos de veces. Esto provocará la destrucción de Mercurio y Venus, y es probable que la Tierra también se vea afectada, con su atmósfera siendo despojada por el calor y la radiación intensos.

Luego, el Sol expulsará sus capas externas en una enorme nebulosa planetaria, dejando atrás un núcleo caliente y denso que eventualmente se convertirá en una enana blanca. Esta enana blanca, un remanente estelar pequeño y frío, brillará con un tenue resplandor durante miles de millones de años más, antes de apagarse por completo.

Si bien el fin del Sol es un evento inevitable, los científicos aseguran que no hay nada de qué preocuparse por el momento. La humanidad tiene miles de millones de años para adaptarse y encontrar un nuevo hogar en el universo.
