It is currently approaching us at tremendous speeds, but whether human civilization will be here to witness what it brings is another story. 0:00 Gliese 710 2:50 Star That Came Closer Than Voyager 1 6:33 HD 7977's Oort Cloud Flyby 7:07 Sun's Twin: Nemesis 11:35 Scholz's Star Papers: https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/pdf/2026/06/aa59497-26.pdf https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-024-02349-x https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-29033-y https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.25069 https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.04655 Narrated by: Mathew McQuinn Music: Artlist Ltd Buy us a cup of coffee: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8SGU9hQEaJpsLuggAhS90Q/join When you buy from our store, you support us: https://my-store-10522d3.creator-spring.com/ Visit our website: https://www.territoryspace.com/ Subscribe to Territory - https://www.youtube.com/@terri
