Earth isn’t the only planet in the Solar system, and yet, it’s the only one with complex forms of life. So it’s not just that the friendly Sun makes our planet an oasis in a vast space desert. The Sun could also finally be the most harmful thing our planet will face. It’s highly radioactive, and it’s already destroyed the atmosphere and oceans on Mars. Is it going to destroy Earth too? Or do we have a chance to survive?

Scientists say that in the future, the Sun will be getting hotter and brighter. In 3.5 billion years the Sun will be 40 % brighter than it is now. But don't be scared! It's plenty long enough to prepare for survival. So why not take Earth, with all its resources and inhabitants, and move it to a safe distance from the Sun?
