Our sun is a small star... technically, a yellow dwarf. True, the sun is a yellow dwarf, but it will eventually become a red giant in about 5 billion years, as it runs out of fuel... the core will collapse into a white dwarf of approximately the size of the earth and then it will die and become a black dwarf... thus is the life of the sun. I actually heard somewhere more around 10 billion years from more than one sourse The lifespan of a yellow dwarf is about 10 billion years in total... the universe is about 5 billion years old, therefore the sun has about 5 billion years of life left. Hmm, good theory Ice, I really like these kind of threads that you start, like about alien life and space science, but of course you can expect that from someone who visits www.space.com What does www.space.com have to do with anything??? I saw the story about the number of stars on CNN today and thought that I would start a thread... the life of yellow dwarves and various stars is pretty common knowledge for anyone who is even remotely interested in science. I was simply giving you props on starting another interesting thread on stuff like science and of the fact that we may not be alone and mearly using space.com as a reference to science of astronomy. *********************************************

I'm sorry you didn't realize it until now Ice, it is a truly amazing site and I stay glue to it like the science channel and anything else dealing with that stuff. Trust me just wander around the site and you will be reading interesting facts and there is even interactive sections that explain about different space items and the other planets in our solar system. Happy planet hunting. Oh and stay out of the way of asteroids.  *********************************************

I LOVE astronomy! I've never heard of a yellow dwarf, only white and black dwarves, which are stars who have already undergone the expansion to red giant and the contraction to a rather small, unbelievably dense dead star. That said, I don't know if "dwarf" is the appropriate title for our sun, as it hasn't undergone the process yet.
To answer someone else's question, the sun is a yellow star, which makes it about average. 70 sextillion is a lot of stars.  | |

With this piece of information, how can anyone think that the earth is the only inhabited planet? No phuckin way, are you serious dude? | |

With this piece of information, how can anyone think that the earth is the only inhabited planet? Ive just started reading a novel that investigates this possibility its called "space" by Stephen Baxter There is a paradox mentioned at the start of the novel called "the Fermi paradox" named after the scientist Enrico Fermi which basically states that as we can trace the life of the sun back to 5 billion yrs ago and the big bang as long ago as maybe 20 billion years, how come there is absolutely no evidence around us of ANY form of extraterrestrial intelligence. The sheer length of time that intelligence has had to evolve elsewhere and yet appears to have not done so makes me think that we are either at a unique point in history eg all other intelligent life forms have self destructed in some way, or more likely we are the first and only intelligent life so far ! | |
