Rogue Star's Collision Threat to Our Solar System Proven False
The solar system has been saved from a potential collision with a rogue dwarf star, WD 0810–353, as new calculations reveal that the star is not actually moving towards the Sun. Initially, the Gaia space telescope had predicted a close encounter between the star and the Sun, but the measurements were incorrect due to the star's strong magnetic field. By using the Very Large Telescope, astronomers accurately analyzed the star's spectrum and determined that our solar system is not in danger from the white dwarf.
