I had hoped you wouldn't ask. The moon goes away due to friction but I think that only happend because it gets energy from earths rotation. A bound system with a kepler potential would usually come together and crash if it slowly loses energy. I think... The virial theorem says that smaller ~ less energy. Yes, it should shrink and the planets fall into what is left of the sun.

In a loosely bound planetary system like our solar system, would the loss of energy from gravity waves cause the system to collapse faster than expansion of the universe might tear it apart?
