What can the Ant nebula tell us about our Sun? - All About Space
The Ant nebula’s central star is thought to be very similar to our own Sun and, because of this, astronomers are hopeful that by understanding what exactly is going on at the heart of Menzel 3 they may be able to predict what will become of the Sun, and indeed the Earth, in the distant future several billion years from now.
