Formation and evolution of the Solar System clear; although the Sun will envelop Earth's current orbit, the star's loss of mass (and thus weaker gravity) will cause the planets' orbits to move farther out. If it were only for this, Venus and Earth would probably escape incineration, but a 2008 study suggests that Earth will likely be swallowed up as a result of tidal interactions with the Sun's weakly bound outer envelope. Gradually, the hydrogen burning in the shell around the solar core will increase the mass of the core until it reaches about 45% of the present solar mass. At this point the density and temperature

A floating habitat on Atlantis, captured by the possessed before being destroyed by Laton to stop them spreading to other habitats. A habitat orbiting Murora, in the Lalonde system. Habitat orbiting a gas giant of the Ross 154 system, the same primary as Felicity's. It was the first Edenist extra-Solar habitat. Orbits Saturn. One of the two Voidhawk bases. Orbits Saturn.
