Opis

In the universe, everything has a beginning, middle and end, with stars standing out because they are highly energetic celestial bodies with antagonistic functions during their evolution, because while they can promote a planetary biosphere capable of sustaining life, they can also be responsible for destroying planets during their life cycle. Earth is a planet that can be vulnerable to the evolution of stars, for example, the Wolf-Rayet 104 star located 8000 light years away, which when it goes supernova can hit the Earth with highly ionising radiation; and the Sun, the very star of our solar system, which when it reaches the red giant phase, the Earth will be hit by its destructive atmosphere.
