| Aug 24, 2021 at 7:18 | comment | added | Dave | My question was not as clear as I thought it was : During the short moment when the outer layers of a star are thrown into outer space, can we get a gamma ray burst from the very last nuclear fusions that occured inside the core? I know that white dwarfs are not hot enough to radiate with such energy, I just need to know if such rays can escape right after the star's death. | |

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… In 2.8 billion years, "Earth's surface temperature will reach around 420 K (147 °C; 296 °F), even at the poles". But conditions for life will be very bad by half a billion years or so. | |
