Quick takeaways
- Our belongings on Earth may be destroyed by the expanding sun or covered in lava, but the atoms from which our stuff is made may disperse in space and end up in new stars and planets.
- Spaghettification occurs when an object gets stretched out due to the changing curvature of space around merging black holes, but it does not happen to event horizons. Objects sent to Lagrange points have large volumes of space to orbit around, minimizing the risk of blocking telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope at L2.

The Fate of Earth and Our Stuff
In the future, the Earth may be swallowed by the expanding sun, causing most of our belongings to be destroyed. Even if the Earth isn't consumed, the surface will likely be covered in lava, making it unrecognizable. However, the atoms from which our stuff is made may disperse in space, potentially ending up in new stars and planets.
