So far, that's pretty much everything we know about Earth in Starfield. It does look like the fate of the Earth is heavily connected to the game's story so we doubt Bethesda will reveal more details in the coming months to avoid spoilers.

Starfield is officially launching on September 6, 2023, for PC and Xbox Series X|S.
