Rogue Star's Collision Course with Solar System Averted
TL;DR Summary
A recent study suggesting that the white dwarf WD 0810-353 would disrupt comets in the Solar System has been debunked by new research. The study, titled "Not So Fast, Not So Furious: Just Magnetic," concludes that WD 0810-353 is not coming as close as previously thought, and its apparent movement is due to its powerful magnetic field. The star is now believed to be moving at a much slower speed, reducing the likelihood of it disturbing comets in the future.
