Astronomer Sean Raymond and team threw 12,000 stars toward a simulation of our solar system to see what would happen. Mainly out of pure curiosity.
Good news: Most of the time Earth survives.
Surprise: The planet most likely to get destroyed is Mercury. #astronomy #astrodon #science

  Life on Earth has about a billion years left. There’s a 1% chance of a star zooming within 100 astronomical units of the Sun in that time. Could a flyby rescue life on our planet?
