Astrum explores how Earth will end, not by asteroid or volcano, but by its own sun. The video details the sun's increasing brightness over billions of years and its impact on Earth's climate and life. Prepare for a journey through time, examining plate tectonics, atmospheric changes, and the fate of our oceans.
