Is that Sam Neill???

If its not Dinosaurs then its the sun exploding.....

Ere Ghost, did you see that thing on the moon? Its moving away from earth very slowly each year.

Eventually the earths orbit will be affected. As you know, the gravity of the moon causes the tides. If the moon floats off then the earth will spin out of control into the depths of space. Providing we don't crash into a star.

At least we beat Chelsea eh?
 
This event is so far ahead in time it's impossible to comprehend.

The sun is billions of years old, or it's been around for a few years at least.

It's a star not a planet as everyone knows.

When this does happen, its not going to effect any of us or future generations of ourselves, let's face it, unless someone builds a family tree the size of Sherwood Forest.

I can see it now, the [Poor language removed] have a penalty to win the game millions of years from now for the first time since 1990 and as Gerrard MMMXXIII steps up to take it Armageddon happens, a bit like that bit in Terminator 2 when Sarah Connor is at the park in Los Angeles. :mellow:

Just a thought.
 
Won't happen for another 4 billion years.

There is a star 3250 light years away in our galaxy which is thought to be in the early stages of preparing to go SuperNova
Earth 'to be wiped out' by supernova explosion
The star, called T Pyxidis, is set to self-destruct in an explosion called a supernova with the force of 20 billion billion billion megatons of TNT


Supernova - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A supernova (pl. supernovae) is a stellar explosion. Supernovae are extremely luminous and cause a burst of radiation that often briefly outshines an entire galaxy, before fading from view over several weeks or months. During this short interval, a supernova can radiate as much energy as the Sun could emit over its entire life span

Several large stars within the Milky Way have been suggested as possible supernovae within the next few thousand to hundred million years. These include Rho Cassiopeiae, Sher 25, Mu Cephei, Eta Carinae, RS Ophiuchi, U Scorpii, the Kitt Peak Downes star KPD1930+2752, HD 179821, IRC+10420, VY Canis Majoris, Betelgeuse, Antares, and Spica.

Many Wolf-Rayet stars, such as Gamma Velorum, WR 104, and those in the Quintuplet Cluster, are also considered possible precursor stars to a supernova explosion in the 'near' future.

Wow, the geek level just went up a notch.

Anyone see that pic of Saturn, it was immense, you could almost see the aliens waving back.
 
This one is to be watched too:
IK Pegasi (or HR 8210)
IK Pegasi (or HR 8210) is a binary star system in the constellation Pegasus. At a distance of about 150 light years from the Solar System, it is just luminous enough to be seen with the unaided eye

IK Pegasi B is the nearest known supernova progenitor candidate. When the primary begins to evolve into a red giant, it is expected to grow to a radius where the white dwarf can accrete matter from the expanded gaseous envelope. When the white dwarf approaches the Chandrasekhar limit of 1.44 solar masses, it may explode as a Type Ia supernova

A Type Ia supernova within a thousand parsecs (3300 light-years) is thought to be able to affect the Earth

the space velocity of this star relative to the Sun is 20.4 km/s. This is equivalent to moving a distance of one light year every 14,700 years. After 5 million years, for example, this star will be separated from the Sun by more than 500 light years...

Lets hope it doesn't go any time for the next 65 million years.....

Then we should be fine! (y)

I have no doubt that humans will be living the other end of the galaxy by then anyway! b)
