The Sun is Burning Through Its Hydrogen Supplies Slower than Expected
It’s been predicted for some time that the sun will eventually enter a new phase of hydrogen burning, but it’s now been determined that this event will take place much slower than previously thought. Recently published research from the University of Cambridge reveals that the sun will take over a billion years to transition into its hydrogen-burning phase, instead of the previously estimated 150 million years. This new research has implications for solar modeling and our understanding of the sun’s evolution.
