You, your girlfriend, your friends, your mum, your dad, your nan, your pets, your house, and everything else you care about and love will be burned to a crisp as the Sun swells to a hundred times its current size, scientists have warned.
Researchers have said that the Sun, our closest star, will swallow up much of the solar system - destroying all traces of life on our fair planet.
Sounds grim that, doesn't it? That's because it is, and there's nothing we can do to prevent it. Nothing.
"Five billion years from now, the Sun will have grown into a red giant star, more than a hundred times larger than its current size," Professor Leen Decin from the KU Leuven Institute of Astronomy told The Sun.
"It will also experience an intense mass loss through a very strong stellar wind. The end product of its evolution, seven billion years from now, will be a tiny white dwarf star.
"This will be about the size of the Earth, but much heavier: one tea spoon of white dwarf material weighs about five tons."
Both Mercury and Venus will likely be swallowed up by the swelling star, because they are closer to the Sun than our own planet.
"The fate of the Earth is still uncertain," Decin added. "We already know that our Sun will be bigger and brighter, so it will probably destroy any form of life on our planet."
Decin and his team of researchers have used their telescopes to spy on a star system called L2 Puppis, which is about 10 billion years ago and is situated about 208 light years from Earth.
About five billion years ago, the star in L2 Puppis went through the same death-to-everyone-and-everything-you-care-about-and-love process our Sun will undergo.
Scientists are using the data to work out what happened when it began to swell in order to have some idea about the fate of the Sun and the Earth.
Anyway, as it's the 36th anniversary of John Lennon's death, here are some lyrics I find to be relevant. Sing it with me!
Here comes the Sun, here comes the Sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the Sun, here comes the Sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the Sun, here comes the Sun
And I say it's all right
Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes
Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes
Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes
Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes
Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the Sun, here comes the Sun
And I say it's all right
Here comes the Sun, here comes the Sun
It's all right, it's all right
What an absolute classic, from John's best mate, George!
