Stellar Data

One of many different scenes from the surface of Earth.  Ample evidence of tectonic activity is present in the uplifted mountains, while the role of water is obvious in the form of erosional forms.  And, of course, the presence of life, green and verdant, is unmistakable.

Stellar Information

For over four billion years Sol has been the provider of life to Earth.  It has become the standard of measurement when examining other stars.  It remains, above all else, that single point of light that any Human can turn to, no matter where they may be, and say to themselves, "That is home."  But it is not a constant star, its yellow light having flickered slightly over the eons even as it grows slowly and steadily brighter.  In the grand scheme of things, these changes have barely been noticeable.  But on Earth, they have been enough to inspire ice ages.

In time, the Sun will bloat and grow red with age, snuffing out all life on Earth in the process, until finally it will gasp and die, remaining a slowly cooling white dwarf.  Before then, however, it is expected that the ever sentimental Humans will have intervened and preserve their home star, making certain that its fires will burn long after other stars have long since died.
