A Scholz star | a star that once passed the sun |


A Scholz star, a star located 22 light years from the sun. This star has moved closer to the sun at a fairly close distance. In the study, it is said that 70,000 years ago, Scholz's star may have grazed the outer edge of the Oort Cloud which is at the edge of our solar system. The Scholz star may not be alone either, he brings with him a companion, a brown dwarf. At that time, the sun and the star Scholz met at a distance of about 0.8 light years, or about 7.5 trillion kilometers. Although this distance seems far to us, on an astronomical scale it is relatively close. It is the shortest distance from the sun before it finally moves away from the sun. At that close distance, it is likely that our ancestors who lived in the Northern Hemisphere could see the Scholz star with the naked eye as a bright red point in the sky.
