The cosmos shudders as the Sun swells into a violent red giant, its crimson tendrils devouring Mercury and Venus in silent screams. Earth, scorched and uninhabitable, hangs precariously. Mars, now crowned with the debris of Phobos, drifts in a lonely orbit. Saturn’s rings are gone; Uranus weeps molten rock; Neptune flees into the dark. In this dying tableau, Mars turns his gaze toward the fragile blue marble, seeking comfort before the end.
