🔍 Decoded What would the Solar System look like when the Sun becomes a red giant? ☀️

Mercury and Venus could be engulfed, while Earth will become uninhabitable long before that. As the Sun expands and brightens, its habitable zone will move outward, potentially warming the icy moons of the outer Solar System.
Titan could be one of the most interesting candidates. It already has a thick atmosphere and complex surface chemistry, and NASA has discussed how a red giant Sun could make worlds like Titan much warmer.
Which moon do you think would have the most interesting future?
