Not sure what you mean by 'die out.' The earth's moon is already a dead planet-no life occurs there or can. As far as dying out, the only thing that would happen would be if it left earth's orbit or somehow crashed into the earth. The moon is only visible due to reflecting the sun's light, so there is no fire (as in a star or a sun) to burn out.
In other words, unless they've found something new about our moon, it is just a big dead rock which orbits the earth and reflects the light of the sun during our night time. There is no way, as far as I know for the moon to 'die out'.

Well, we know that the moon is already bare (without life). If by saying "die out" you mean to no longer exist as a matter in space, there is always a possiblity of that happening but that is far from likely in our life time. In fact, in my opinion, that may not be likely for up to but not limited to a million years from now.

Stars die out after they use up all of their fuel. The article said that the Moon will disintegrate after million, billions of years from the force of Earth pulling on it.

Supposedly it will in 4 billion years when the sun hits a giant red star phase, and it will also disintegrate the earth. They have a few ideas as to how this can be avoided though.

The moon and Earth will be swallowed by the sun millions of years from now.

You see the moon purely by sunlight reflected from it. The moon will continue to light up the night every month until the sun dies.

once the solar dies, all of us die. If the solar explodes it is going to burn us to lack of existence. And if it would not explode yet merely dies, we are able to freeze to lack of existence and there'll not in any respect be basic on earth lower back

the earth's moon cannot (in technical terms) 'die out'. to 'die out' means that the source fuelling the celestial body is about to finish or 'die out' and the celestial body might finish off all together. to 'die out' usually means the dying off of stars. since the moon is just plain solid rock, and there is no heat source in it, it cannot 'die out' because the non-existant heat source can never finish off since it was never there.
do u get me?

WIll tell you everything you want to know about what is happening with the moon and its relationship to the earth, and when it technically will no longer exist in about 5 million years
You probably read it as a Yahoo RSS feed today

The moon is slowly drifting away at about 1.5 inches per year. Eventually it will drift away until it's orbit and the earth's rotation are in sync.
