Did a Passing Star Trigger Earth's 56-Million-Year Warming?

Originally Published 6 months ago — by ScienceAlert

Recent research suggests that passing stars, or stellar flybys, did not influence Earth's climate over the past 56 million years, including during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, when significant global warming occurred. Advanced models incorporating comprehensive Solar System dynamics show no link between stellar flybys and climate shifts, challenging earlier hypotheses that such events triggered major climatic changes.

Stellar Flybys and Their Impact on Earth's Climate History

Originally Published 7 months ago — by Universe Today

Recent research suggests that stellar flybys have likely not influenced Earth's past climate changes over the last 56 million years, challenging earlier hypotheses. Using comprehensive solar system models, scientists found no significant impact of passing stars on Earth's orbital stability or climate events like the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, emphasizing the importance of detailed modeling in understanding celestial influences on our planet.
