Outer planets may destroy each other after the sun dies
Original: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will probably destroy each other after the sun runs out of fuel, new simulations hint
New computer simulations suggest that once the sun exhausts its fuel and becomes a white dwarf, gravitational instability could cause Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune to collide or eject each other from the solar system. Scientists say the outcome is far in the future but would dramatically reshape our planetary system.
Why now: Fresh research into the solar system's long-term fate is drawing attention.
