How Our Sun Will Die - The New Thinking

On the program today we're going to look at how the Sun will die. Scientists have made some predictions.The star Betelgeese, Betelgeist, Betelgeuse, whatever you want to call it, has dimmed by about 60% and they think they have a theory as to why. Up until now it's been a mystery.We're also going to look at the rock structures on Earth because they hold within them the oldest signs of life.And we're going to also look at the radiation signatures on trees, but they don't answer all the questions.And that's a big mystery in itself. That's all coming up on this edition of Astronomy Daily. Astronomy Daily, the podcast.

Tuesday November 15, 2022Today’s headline stories:This is Astronomy Daily and I'm your host, Andrew Dunkley.
