The Sun begins its journey toward becoming a red giant
The Sun begins its journey toward becoming a red giant.. The intense heat has already boiled off Earths oceans and driven away most of the atmosphere leaving a lifeless, molten surface. The Sun will continue to bloom for the next few hundred million years until it fills the sky and eventually engulfs the Earth entirely. The Earth was born of fire, and fire will be its end.
In about six billion years our sun is expected to dramatically expand and grow hotter as its helium core contracts and ignites the outer layers of hydrogen, eventually becoming a type of star called a red giant

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring journey of our Sun as it begins its transformation into a red giant. The intense heat emanating from this celestial body has already caused Earth's oceans to evaporate and stripped away most of its atmosphere, leaving behind a desolate and molten surface. As time progresses, the Sun will continue to bloom over the next few hundred million years, gradually expanding until it dominates the entire sky and ultimately engulfs our beloved planet entirely. It is a reminder that fire played an integral role in both the birth and demise of Earth. In approximately six billion years, our Sun will undergo a remarkable metamorphosis; its helium core contracting and igniting the outer layers of hydrogen, transforming it into a magnificent red giant star. The image portrays an otherworldly landscape with rough terrains and bumpy surfaces covered in liquid magma. Barren lava fields stretch across the horizon as volcanic activity shapes this alien world. It sparks imagination about exogeology, astrogeology, exobiology, and astrobiology – disciplines that explore distant planets for signs of life beyond our own. This artwork invites us to contemplate the vastness of space while appreciating Earth's delicate existence within it. It serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing quest for discovery and understanding in realms far beyond what we can currently comprehend.
