At a Glance According to astrophysicist Ethan Siegel, the sun is ever-so-gradually getting lighter and expanding into a red gas giant.Eventually it will burn so hot that it will boil Earth's seas away.That won't happen for at least a billion years, however. Before the sun dies in about 10 billion years, its decreasing mass will make the star hotter and hotter, eventually boiling Earth's seas away, a scientist said. Astrophysicist Ethan Siegel wrote in an article for Forbes this week...

At a Glance For the first time, scientists have identified why Earth wobbles as it spins. The decrease in Greenland's ice mass is the main reason for the wobble, NASA says.Changes in the Earth's wobble could impact the accuracy of satellite tools like GPS systems, according to NASA. Climate change is impacting how Earth spins on its axis, NASA says. Over the past century, Earth’saxis –the imaginary line that passes through the North and South Poles –has , and adecrease...
