A joint project by NASA and Toho University, powered by a high-performance supercomputer, predicts that Earth will become permanently uninhabitable around the year 1,000,002,021.
Reports from BGR and Yahoo, referencing an April analysis in LaGrada, explain that the Sun's gradually increasing brightness will eventually raise global temperatures beyond the boiling point, leading to the loss of Earth’s oceans and atmosphere in about a billion years.
Meanwhile, earlier research by Ozaki and Reinhard in Nature Geoscience indicates that atmospheric oxygen could vanish hundreds of millions of years earlier, underscoring that Earth's life-sustaining conditions are only temporary.
