"Rogue Star: Our Last Hope Against Extinction?"
A new study suggests that a passing star could potentially save Earth from its inevitable extinction caused by the sun's increasing heat. Researchers ran 12,000 simulations and found that in 92% of cases, the solar system remained stable even as a star passed by. In 0.28% of simulations, the passing star pulled Earth into a more temperate region, while in other scenarios, Earth ended up in the Oort cloud or as a free-floating planet. However, the chances of a star passing by and rescuing Earth are only 1 in 35,000, making it a highly unlikely scenario.
