Answer

Yes — Thermo Beam resolves and kills the Dazzling Aurora.

Sequence: while Promising Future is resolving, your Thermo Beam is placed on the chain as a pending item first, then your opponent's Dazzling Aurora. After Promising Future finishes, pending items finalize in that order — Thermo Beam finalizes as a spell and lingers on the chain, then Dazzling Aurora finalizes and enters play as a gear. Resolution then goes down the chain (LIFO): only Thermo Beam is still on it, so it resolves and kills all gear, including the Aurora.
