I, errr, look forward to the future! :unsure: :lol: More seriously, it shows how insignificant we are in this universe.

I'm obviously ignorant of those space phenomenons! :ninja: I must admit this has never been a topic which has fascinated me.

The animation was pretty cool.

If this does ever happen, at least we'll (our generation) be long, long gone by the time it happens.

This site might be useful:

I've always loved space stuff since I was a kid and I've found that site often keeps you up to date with new discoveries and what's going on with NASA too. So you might like it. You get to hear a lot of new info, like snowflakes on Mars for example (they even found two planets floating so close together that they're moon distance apart I think). It's fun stuff ^^

Aw no. I was all scheduled to set my affairs finally in order in exactly 5 billion years and now I find out I haven't enough time. It isn't fair. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Oh wow. There is so much information on that site that I'm not sure where to click! The pictures are absolutely amazing! The NASA should probably consider starting a TV show (if not a TV channel!).

I am, however, fascinated by the early days of space exploration. I really wish I could have witnessed the developments. There are still many great discoveries being made (those you listed are in fact super interesting... too bad I didn't even know that!), but it's not quite the same.

Oh, they even have a UFO section! :lol: I'm surprised, but why not, since it's interesting to so many! :)

I'm sure you can speed things a little, if I go from your pace on the Wiki. ;)

Well to bad for the folks living then if there are still any left within 4 Billion years there may not or some might have moved on to diffrent planets.
How knows if it will happned for sure but for all we know right now life as we know it might already be gone at that time and the sun maybe as well.
However i am verry fasinated by this being such a SCI-Fi nerd and all keep updates coming if something new comes along.

Nu, the sun turns into a Red Giant in 6 billion years, and then shrinks into a White Dwarf Star a few billion years after that were only the outer planets will remain...that is so long as the merge with the other galaxy doesn't destroy them or throw them out into the cosmos.

Oh and there's also a thing about Dark Energy pushing the universe apart, better watch out for that one. (Ah, i'm too much of a nerd on this stuff for my own good @_@)
