Low Mass Stars
Today we are talking about the life -- and death -- of stars. Low mass stars live a long time, fusing all their hydrogen into helium over a trillion years. More massive stars like the Sun live shorter lives. They fuse hydrogen into...

A giant thruster could be used to shift the Earth’s orbit as changes to the sun’s energy output increases
In around a billion years, increases in the sun’s energy output will ensure oxygen levels on Earth drop to levels that cannot sustain complex life, so we should build a giant thruster to shift the planet’s orbit.
