According to scientists, over the past 1000 years, the planet has noticeably decreased in size, in addition, its orbit has shifted even more to the Sun. Researchers believe that such changes in the near future may lead to the complete destruction of the celestial body. What are the consequences of the death of one of the planets? How will the cataclysm affect the Earth? What will happen to our planet if the usual balance in the solar system is upset?
Cosmologists from all over the world are watching Mercury with bated breath! Even a slight change in the behavior of this planet in a well-oiled solar system like a clockwork is fraught with dire consequences, but what will happen to us if Mercury still dies?
Astrophysicists have been observing strange phenomena on Mercury for a very long time. The fact is that its solid body occupies more than half of the entire planet and is 5 times the size of the Earth's core, while Mercury is rapidly contracting every day and changing its trajectory. Is it really going to decrease until it finally disappears?
Scientists on a computer simulated the processes that will take place in space in the near future, it took several months, but the result of the simulation was truly terrifying. Mercury will indeed change in size so much that it will fall out of orbit, and a collision with the Sun will finally destroy it.
Terrible predictions will begin to come true when the orbit of Mercury stretches into a narrow ellipse. The closer the planet gets to the Sun, the more unbearable conditions on Earth will become. Floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and other cataclysms await us. Is the fate of humanity a foregone conclusion?
Astrophysicists are sure that several centuries more separate us from the cosmic apocalypse. However, if scientists of the future do not find a way to prevent the disappearance of Mercury, then the only salvation for us will be resettlement to another planet more distant from the Sun.
