+ Stars and constellations will be significantly different
+ Estimated time to terraform Mars
* **1 million years**: Likely super volcanic eruption; Betelgeuse will explode into a supernova
* **2 million years**: Grand Canyon will widen and deepen
* **10 million years**: Humanity may have evolved into different species if colonized other planets
* **50-100 million years**:
+ Phobos will collide with Mars
+ Africa will collide with Eurasia, closing the Mediterranean Sea
* **600 million years**: Moon will be too far for total solar eclipses; severe effects on Earth due to sun's luminosity
* **800 million years**: All complex life on Earth will die due to CO2 depletion
* **1 billion years**:
+ Earth's surface temperature will rise to 47°C
+ Oceans will evaporate; only polar regions may retain liquid water, supporting the last remnants of life

Here are the key facts extracted from the text, numbered and in short sentences:
**Timeframe: Past to Present**
1. Humanity has been around for approximately 200,000 years.
2. Humans originated in Africa and have since colonized the entire world and reached the moon.
**Timeframe: 10,000 - 100,000 years from now**
3. In ~10,000 years, the "Year 10,000 problem" will occur, affecting software that uses 4-digit decimal calendar years.
4. By ~10,000 years, human genetic variation will no longer be regionalized due to globalization.
5. In ~20,000 years, languages will retain only 1% of their current core vocabulary words.
6. In ~50,000 years, Earth will enter another glacial period, regardless of current global warming effects.
7. By ~50,000 years, Niagara Falls will have eroded away into Lake Erie.
8. In ~50,000 years, the Canadian Shield lakes will cease to exist due to glacial rebound and erosion.
9. In ~50,000 years, a day on Earth will be 1 second longer, requiring a leap second.
10. In ~100,000 years, the visible stars and constellations from Earth will be completely different.
**Timeframe: 100,000 - 1,000,000 years from now**
11. In ~100,000 years, it's estimated to take this long to fully terraform Mars into a habitable planet.
12. In ~250,000 years, the Lo-ihi Volcano will rise above the surface, forming a new Hawaiian island.
13. In ~500,000 years, Earth will likely be struck by a 1-kilometer diameter asteroid (unless prevented).
14. By ~500,000 years, Badlands National Park will have completely eroded away.
15. In ~950,000 years, the Arizona meteor crater will have completely eroded away.
**Timeframe: 1,000,000 - 1,000,000,000 years from now**
16. In ~1,000,000 years, Earth will likely experience a super volcanic eruption similar to the Toba eruption.
17. By ~1,000,000 years, the star Betelgeuse will have exploded into a supernova, visible from Earth.
18. In ~2,000,000 years, the Grand Canyon will have eroded more, widening into a large valley.
19. In ~2,000,000 years, humanity may have evolved into different species if colonized on separate planets.
20. In ~10,000,000 years, a part of East Africa will split off, forming a new ocean basin.
21. In ~50,000,000 years, Phobos will collide with Mars, causing massive destruction.
22. By ~50,000,000 years, Africa will collide with Eurasia, closing off the Mediterranean Sea.
23. In ~60,000,000 years, the Canadian Rockies will have eroded into a flat plain.
24. By ~80,000,000 years, the Hawaiian Islands will have sunk back into the ocean.
25. In ~100,000,000 years, Earth will likely be struck by an asteroid similar to the one that wiped out dinosaurs.
26. By ~100,000,000 years, Saturn's rings will no longer exist.
27. In ~240,000,000 years, Earth will complete one full orbit around the galactic center.
28. By ~250,000,000 years, all continents will have fused into a supercontinent (Pangaea Ultima).
29. In ~400,000,000 - 500,000,000 years, the supercontinent will break apart again.
30. In ~500,000,000 - 600,000,000 years, a deadly gamma ray burst may occur, potentially striking Earth.
31. By ~600,000,000 years, the Moon will be too far for total solar eclipses to occur.
32. In ~600,000,000 years, the Sun's increased luminosity will severely affect Earth.
33. By ~800,000,000 years, CO2 levels will drop, making C4 photosynthesis impossible, and all complex life will die.
34. In ~1,000,000,000 years, the Sun's luminosity will increase by 10%, causing Earth's surface temperature to rise to 47°C.
35. By ~1,000,000,000 years, the atmosphere will become a moist greenhouse, and oceans will evaporate, except for possible polar pockets.
