According to reliable data of the Polish scientists, the celestial visitor through 1.35 million years pass from the Sun at a distance of 6 astronomical units 250 and will bring a huge number of large asteroids and comets that could meet with the Ground.
an Orange dwarf called Gliese 710 in the future will be at a distance of 0.1 light years from the Earth is only 6 thousand times further away than the Sun and tens and hundreds of times closer than the nearest other star to date.
Gliese 710 is an orange dwarf of spectral type K7. It’s cosmic body in 2 times lighter and 30 times fainter than the Sun. She is the brightest and insecure star. Currently, it is at a distance of about 45 light-years from the Solar system, however, as scientists have suspected before, gradually moving closer to her. So, scientists are 90% confident that the distance will be able to get closer to the planet Earth, will be much less than demonstrated preliminary calculations.
Thanks to technological breakthroughs in the field of telescopes and other astronomical equipment, researchers were able to learn that at 1, 35 million years Gliese 710 with a probability of 90%, will be able close pass around the Sun. This leads to the fact that the star will be the brightest after the moon and Venus point in the night sky.
For a million years after the rapprochement between Gliese 710 and the Sun, our planet will be under constant bombardment from asteroids of the Oort cloud. Star 4.00 and 0.1 light years from the object affects him with a power, differing in 1 600 times. It is 45 light years from the Sun and is 64 light years from Earth. And in the cloud Aorta can be instances and larger. With all this, if the Earth will face really large space body, it can lead to such catastrophic consequences as mass extinction.
