"I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the moons remaining in stable orbits around the planet as it is sent hurtling out of the solar system," Kane said.was placed a little beyond Mars, the simulation showed that the orbits of all four inner planets became unstable. Earth's and Venus' orbits became eccentric or egg-shaped enough that they had"catastrophic close encounters.
"What surprised me the most in the study was the sensitivity of the overall solar system architecture to the resonances of Jupiter," Kane told Space.com in an email. Artist's concept of Kepler-62f, a super-Earth-size planet orbiting a star smaller and cooler than the sun, about 1,200 light-years from Earth. In this case,"one major lacuna that needs to be further explored is the stability of the solar system on longer timescales ," Manasvi Lingam, an astronomer at the Florida Institute of Technology who was not involved in the study, told Space.com in an email.

Frontiers | Pancosmorio (world limit) theory of the sustainability of human migration and settlement in spaceIt seems to be an accepted assumption that human migration into space is inevitable. Humans are a species of Earth. We are connected to Earth through evolution. We are also connected to space; our bodies contain heavy elements generated by fusion in the cores of stars. What does this evolutionary connection of humans to a star and a planet mean for their ability to inhabit space? This paper combines 100 years of research and scientific development of a theory of ecological thermodynamics with classical mechanics theory and analytical models of self-restoring heat engines to explain how the Sun and Earth have evolved into islands of order in the entropy of space. An explanation is provided regarding how naturally occurring conservative force fields engage a diversity of natural resources in semi-reversible cycles that build a high-exergy ecosphere. The science and evidence suggest that the ability to establish a human settlement in space without the self-restoring order, capacity, and organization of Earth will ultimately lead to settlement failure. Supply chains would disappear, market resources would be depleted, advancement in human pursuits would be disrupted, social and governance systems would falter or collapse, human population numbers would decline, genetic diversity in the human genome would be lost, average human individual biomass would decrease, and human knowledge and understanding would be forgotten. What does it mean to have a location in space outside of Earth be “like Earth?” The results of research are presented as a pancosmorio theory of human sustainability that is developed using the scientific philosophy methodology of abductive reasoning. Four analytical models of space ecosphere sustainability and five hypotheses with proposed tests for falsifiability are provided, including a theorem that suggests a limit to human expansion into space. A new quantitative method of human sustainability is developed from theories of network ecology, providing
