Rogue Star's Collision Course with Earth Proven False

Scientists have corrected their previous calculations and determined that a rogue white dwarf star, WD0810-353, will not crash into our Sun or come close to Earth. The previous projections were based on the star's light spectrum, but the researchers overlooked its unusually large magnetic field, which affected the measurements. While our solar system is still likely to encounter other stellar visitors in the future, this particular potential catastrophe has been ruled out.
