Interstellar Visitor May Have Reshaped Our Solar System's Orbits
A recent study suggests that an interstellar object, possibly 2 to 50 times the mass of Jupiter, may have passed through our solar system, potentially altering the orbits and inclinations of the giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. This discovery challenges the notion of our solar system's stability, indicating that external forces from interstellar visitors could have significant impacts on planetary dynamics. The object's unique trajectory and speed highlight the potential for such encounters to influence the solar system's structure over time.
