Last year, researchers looked at the trajectory of a rogue white dwarf star called WD 0810–353 with the Gaia space telescope and predicted that it was due for an encounter with our solar system in around 29,000 years.

In fact, the “rogue” star won’t just miss the solar system; it might not even be headed our way at all, astronomers say.

No need to be coy, Gene. This is a Safe Space.
