Breaking Study: A Star Appears to Have Come Closer to Earth Than the Voyager Probes

Billions of years ago, a passing star came closer to our Sun than any object from outside our Solar System has ever been observed today, reshaping the orbits of distant celestial bodies and possibly creating some of the Solar System’s most irregular moons. In this episode, we dive into the new research that uncovers this cosmic close call, the science behind these bizarre orbits, and what it means for our understanding of the Solar System’s wild past. Watch now to explore this incredible discovery!

Would be interesting to see theoretical paths, masses or speed and maybe have a set of candidate stars (current)

[patrickemmons]

I’ve heard this theory and possibly other large objects like gas giants doing the same. But my only question is, with help of super computers and already knowing where nearby stars are and where they’re traveling, couldn’t we reverse their trajectory and see if they in fact were close to the sun? There’s a lot I don’t know but I’m just wondering if that is a possibility or even if that’s happening as we speak🤷🏻‍♂️

The last close approach by another star was Scholze's Star around 70K or 700KY. One thing to remember is if a star makes a close approach and perturbs objects in the Ort Cloud. The Sun is doing the same thing objects orbiting the other star. Plus depending on just how long the close approach lasts changes how many objects in the Outer Solar System would have their orbits effected

This is a theory with quite a few flaws to it, such as the regular orbits in the solar system. Although many celestial bodies in the solar system have irregular orbits, it doesn’t account for the regular orbits in the solar system too. These irregular orbits are often only for the smaller celestial bodies, such as Sedna. These orbits are possibly caused by them formally being rouge celestial bodies that ended up getting caught by the sun’s intense gravitational pull. This theory not only provides simple answers to why there are elliptical orbits in the solar system, but also explain why there are regular orbits too.

Kinda complicates the IAU's so-called "Definition of a Planet" if an object can't "clear its orbit" because another object keeps shoving stuff back into it.

[IsabellaIsabella-mctx]

Thanks very interesting and wonderful explanation. ❤❤

[patriciathomas]

Interesting study that might explain the inner solar system as well something sent the astroids with the water thx

[MikePeterson-sxdb]

Awesome 👍💯.just the thought of a Star ✨ coming closer than ower own man maid machine in the outer space 🚀 is just mind boggleing.

The universe truly is a peace of art and the author is the only thing more beautiful

[sschneider]

Thank goodness for the billions of years explanation

[observedReality]

Theoretically, system change can happen without high mass excursion or transits though. I'd be interested to see modeling based on the Cymatic theories of formation. Simply changing the input of a node/star could reasonably rearrange an entire system's orbital pathways. That disruption would indeed fling bodies out in odd paths too.

[coltenite.]

Could it be that this is why Planet 9’s orbit is too far out. Because this star was almost gonna take it into its own orbit as it passed by :0

[danielash]

The shifting of mars position has become increasingly difficult to predict for the past history of being in the world and then looking for the next conflict in our own pattern of orbits we see other twin planets in their goldilocks zone opposite sides of the suns magnetic fields theres a intuition that is mind boggling and maybe even our own short story of history we've forgotten about their relationship to help us understand the striations of distant planets and suns could mars actually have been a similar pattern as those distant forms?the ancient history says the battle of the gods lived there times in biological history as the first point of recording the environment they experienced ❤stranger's of the stars in the mindset looking backwards in time theres a pattern of suchlike this??hmm

[GrandmaTurtle]

This reminds me of the Navajo prophecy re the blue star

[Chris_winthers]

For reference, jupiter is 5 au and pluto is 39 au. It's not like it was touching tips with the sun

[paulroberts]

A Star doesn't quite cover all the anomalies in our solar system, its very interesting thou.

[tonynunez]

The universe is a mystery wrapped in a riddle hidden in a puzzle.

[johnnyhenry]

I would like to know after all of these years of cosmic research, how much have learned about the vastness and functions of our great cosmic verse?

[anthonyWayne]

Yeah, could probably explain some of the gravitational pull & tilt on the moon nowadays

[conors]

Interesting idea, but if I’m not mistaken, wouldn’t there be some evidence of a star out there that’s relatively nearby that looks like it had an intersecting trajectory with us? A few billion years is nothing in astronomical terms.
