5. The secret life of the sun
Astronomers know that in about five billion years, the sun will burn through its hydrogen supply and begin to cool, ballooning into a swollen behemoth whose outer edges might swallow our planet. However, they are still learning how the sun’s death rattle will influence the interstellar medium (the gas and dust that fills the space between stars), the makeup of future stars and the galaxy as a whole.
