"Earth's Potential Transformation into a Rogue Planet: A Cosmic Possibility"

In about 500 million years, the sun will heat Earth beyond redemption, but there is a potential solution. Our descendants could steal energy from Jupiter's orbit to raise Earth's orbit and keep it away from the sun's increasing heat. However, if done incorrectly, Earth could be sent careening out of the solar system, becoming a rogue planet. Resonance effects could amplify the energy transfer, leading to catastrophic consequences. Astronomers estimate that there are between 0.25 and 10,000 rogue planets for every star in the Milky Way.
