4 ‘Death Stars’ tracked heading towards our solar system
THERE’S a fleet of ‘Death Stars’ headed our way. This time destruction really could be rained down upon us all: But there’s still time to linger over a Star Wars sequel or three (hundred thousand).

The wayward orange dwarf star HIP-85605 is just one of several stars detected as being on an intercept course with our solar system. Odds are as high as 90 per cent it will crash into our Oort cloud — an enormous ‘bubble’ of comets that surrounds our Sun — sometime between 240,000 and 470,000 years from now.

And it’s not the only one: There are possibly more than a dozen such ‘Death Stars’ racing our way.
