'또다시 고개드는 지구 종말설' VIDEO: More than 20 'death stars' are heading towards our solar system...
More than 20 'death stars' are heading towards our solar system, and could cause devastating comet strikes that WIPE OUT life on Earth
Scientists have estimated that this won't happen for at least a million years
They calculated that 19 to 24 stars will come within 3.26 light years of the sun
They highlight an encounter of one star, dubbed Gliese 710, in 1.3 million years
Gliese 710 is 64 light-years away and on a collision course with our solar system
Scientists say it could cause a shower of comets to switch course towards Earth
20개의 죽음의 별이 태양계를 향해서 달려오고 있다.
이 죽음의 별들은 혜성 충돌을 야기시켜 지구를 쓸어버릴 수 있는
대재앙을 불러올 수 있다.
과학자들은 앞으로 백년 이내에 발생할 것이라고 예측하고 있으며
19~24개의 별을 관찰했는데 태양에서 3.26광년 이내에 올 것으로 계산했다.
주목하고 있는 점은 Gliese 710이라고 이름 붙여진 별이 1백3십년 안에
충돌할 것이라는 것이다.
Gliese 710는 64광년 떨어져 있으며 태양계와 충돌이 예상되고 있다.
과학자들은 지구 쪽으로오는 방향 전환을 위해 '혜성 소나기(shower of comets)를
발생시켜야 한다고 주장하고 있다.

Within the next million years or so, between 19 and 24 'death stars' will come within 3.26 light years of the sun.
This is close enough to deflect comets away from there original paths and towards Earth - increasing the chance that one will wipe out life on our planet.
This is according to a new paper that has looked at how often stars stray into the Oort cloud - a spherical shell of billions of icy objects that exist in the outer reaches of our solar system.

A particularly close encounter of one star, dubbed Gliese 710, in 1.3 million years' time, stands out.
It is predicted to pass within just 2.3 trillion km or about 16,000 Earth–sun distances, well within the Oort Cloud.
