I persist too long after my own defeat,
Yet I still press forward, staggering on my feet.
But I know that my resolution will be my end.
And once I fall, I shall ruefully transcend.

A gravitational alignment of the Orion arm in the Milky Way galaxy, causing the destabilisation of the supermassive black hole in the galactic centre, which would drag the Orion arm (and all other arms) closer, compressing the solar systems within it. Earth would get closer to the Sun, thus burning the surface. The moon's orbit would be altered so that it would collide with us, destroying the remnants of the burnt planet.
Merry Christmas.
That's one theory.... yea, the galactic arms and super-massive black hole are correct, but if that was true, we wouldn't be here, because it ALREADY HAPPENED throughout Earth's history on various occasions.
