The European Space Agency's (ESA) Gaia spacecraft has made a chilling prediction that our sun is almost halfway through its life span and when it reaches the end, it will swell and obliterate our planet - but data from the craft suggests this will not happen for at least another five billion years.
Gaia determined the sun is around 4.57 billion years old and by identifying its mass and composition, the device estimated how the sun will evolve and when it will go supernova.
The road it its demise begins around 10 to 11 billion years of age when it becomes a red giant and rapidly increases significantly in size.
