      Give a person a glass of H2O and they drink for a day. Give a person a glass of OH and they’ll never have to drink again.

    A rogue red dwarf could eject Earth from the solar system.

    As I said, I really hope not. Doesn't really matter what hypothetical situation you talk about, if it involves another star being in or close to our solar system, it's gonna end badly for us.

      I assume it would be very fast and painless if it just comes charging in.

      But I suppose if it just saunters by slowly and pulls us out of our usual orbit, maybe we have a few days or weeks of mass confusion and suffering?

        I assume it would be very fast and painless if it just comes charging in.

        Even if it comes in very fast, you're still talking about many months of forewarning, perhaps even many hundreds of years if it was a "normal" star instead of something like a brown dwarf.

        some people used to think we had a second sun/brown dwarf/red dwarf/something that caused a bunch of regular extinctions
