Scientists Study What Would Happen If a Rogue Star Crashed Through Our Solar System
If a rogue star were to enter the Solar System, it could disrupt the delicate balance of the planets' orbits.
Computer simulations suggest that there is a high chance none of the eight planets would be entirely lost if a rogue star approached.
The most probable destructive pathways for Earth would be a giant impact with another celestial body or colliding with the Sun.
