At 1.3 million years, slightly smaller than the star Sol It is located 1.1 light-years away from TierraSo it looks like it is Thursday.
The prediction comes from the analysis done thanks to the data collected by European Space Observatory GaiaLaunched in 2013 with the goal of creating the largest and most accurate three-dimensional map of the galaxy.
In particular, Gaia noticed that the star in question was called Glass 710 And located in Serpentus constellation, it moves at 13.8 km/s.
It is currently 60 light-years away from us and estimates from research led by Dr. LK Platt-Loehinger, from the University of Vienna, within 1.3 million years it would be only 1.1. In this way, it would be 10,000 times greater than the distance separating the Earth and the Sun.
Specifically, the prediction predicts that this gradual displacement will take the star inward. Nube de Oort, region of trans-Neptunian objects. This leads to visible intense disturbances at the boundaries of the solar system, which is why encounters and collisions between different bodies (both asteroids and planets) are possible.
According to Billet-Loehinger, the Kleiss Chaos in Oort will push 100 million comets into space, and a fraction (4,500) of them into the Solar System. If one of them hits Earth, that is consequences They are comparable to those caused by the extinction of the dinosaurs.
To reach the Gliese Oort cloud, 47,000 generations of human beings must be born. That would be 64,000 years Before it gives up and disappears, researchers assess.
