Study Suggests the Solar System May Be Far Less Stable Than Scientists Assumed
A new analysis highlighted by 404 Media and other outlets suggests the Solar System may have a shorter and less predictable lifespan than long assumed, with gravitational interactions potentially destabilising planetary orbits over vast timescales. The finding does not imply any near-term threat to Earth, but it reframes a foundational question in planetary science: how long can the current architecture of the Solar System remain intact?
