Astronomers have detected what may be a ‘future Earth’ eight billion years from now
Eight billion years into the future, astronomers have discovered what may be a future Earth. If the rocky planet doesn't get swallowed by our expanding sun, scientists may be able to see one of Earth's potential futures. The planet is about twice as big as Earth.
By finding a far-off planet, astronomers have been able to get a unique look at what our planet might look like in eight billion years. The planet, known as KMT-2020-BLG-0414, is a rocky world 4,000 lightyears away from Earth that orbits a white dwarf, which is the burning remnant of a star. In 5 billion years, our sun is predicted to change into a white dwarf.
But before then, Mercury, Venus, and maybe even Earth and Mars will be consumed by our sun as it accelerates outward into a red giant. In the end, if our planet survives, it might look something like this one as it moves further away from the cooling remnants of the dying cosmic inferno. The journal Nature Astronomy published the astronomers' description of the far-off world on September 26.

As for whether Earth may avoid being swallowed by the red giant sun in six billion years, scientists are divided on the subject, according to main author Keming Zhang of the University of California, San Diego.
