New research suggests Earth might escape destruction when the Sun dies

According to a study featured in 'Astronomy and Astrophysics', the long-held belief that the Sun will expand and swallow the Earth during its final stages in 5 billion years has been questioned. The findings indicate that as the Sun sheds mass, its gravitational grip will loosen. Consequently, the Earth could potentially drift into a further orbit, avoiding being engulfed by the dying star.
