Stars passing close to the sun could cause planets to collide, including with Earth, or even be ejected as rogue planets, new simulations show.

Astronomers observed over 56,000 sun-like stars and found that superflares, which are way stronger than typical solar flares, are much more common than previously thought.

Stars whizzing by our solar system could cause more havoc than astronomers previously thought, from sending Pluto’s orbit haywire to forcing Mercury to fly into the sun – or even ...

Previous studies showed a roughly 1 percent chance of it dropping into the sun or being ejected from the solar system because of planetary dynamics in the next five billion years or so, but ...
