Glise 710 Rogue Star Hurtling Towards The Solar System When we think of stars, we tend to conceive of them of immovable, fixed objects, but stars travel through space just like planets and other objects do. The Earth and all the other planets in our solar system rotate around the Sun, but the Sun also rotates around the centre of the Milky Way galaxy once every 225-250 million years. All stars orbit something. Well, except for certain “rogue” stars astronomer are beginning to discover. Rogue stars, also known as intergalactic stars, are stars which have escaped the gravitational pulls of their home galaxies and travel independently through intergalactic voids. One particular rogue star, the dwarf star Gliese 710, is especially terrifying. The dwarf star is hurtling through the universe and researchers are concerned that it could affect our galactic neighbourhood because is headed straight for our solar system At a speed of 51,499 kilometres per hour (32,000 miles per hour), it's not quite fast enough to be considered a runaway star, but it's still travelling at a hefty clip. Astronomers have known about the star for some time and previous studies have shown that it should arrive in about 1.35 million years but new research has suggested it could arrive much sooner.
