๐๐ปโโ๏ธ TIL: ๐โ๏ธ Even if the #Sunโs #fusion shut off right now, nothing would change for 10,000 years.
After that, its core collapses, and counterintuitively, it gets smaller and hotter for millions of years as #gravity squeezes it. #Neutrino detectors on #Earth would sense trouble within 8 minutes, but life would barely notice for generations.

Switch off fusion and, for ten thousand years, nothing happens. Then the Sun begins a slow, strange death: shrinking, briefly brightening, and coasting on gravitational heat for tens of millions of years. And the neutrinos give the whole thing away in just eight minutes.
Juicy new details emerge about an asteroid NASA's Lucy spacecraft flew by last year
