Evolution of the Sun Explained

In a couple of billion years, our Sun will become so violently hot that it could wipe out all life in the Milky Way. But as it gets stronger, it could also help us live on places like Pluto and Saturn's moons. How can the center of our Solar System be so giving yet destructive at the same time? In this episode, we explore the entire evolution of the Sun, from how it helped create life on Earth to how it might one day destroy us.
