We're All Gonna Die

by Steve Gibson Jun 06, 2000 11:11am CST tags: Wack News
Just when you we're sitting there eating your poptart thinking life is good, you find out we're all gonna die. It looks like there is a star moving at about 14km/second towards a solar system with a lot of comets. If/when that happens, well... :

the star will send comets plummeting towards the Sun and so put the Earth at risk. [snip] The star is a red dwarf known as Gliese 710. It is more than 100 000 times as massive as the Earth.

That kinda sucks. While you're at it, this Nasa study of blackholes is kinda cool. Did I mention its not for a million years? Thanks KELLEY. Previous reasons we're all gonna die: [1 ,2 , 3 , 4]
