Just 62 light years from the Sun, the mysterious orange dwarf is racing toward us, ready to burst into our Solar System! This bold star, with a mass only 57% of the Sun's and a radius 42% smaller than our star, seems modest. With a surface temperature of about 4000 °C ,it emits 11 times less energy than the Sun, but don't let its modesty fool you!

It is a true cosmic wanderer with a mission! Every second it reduces the distance to Earth by 14.5 km, heading toward us with relentless determination. In 1.29 million years, this star will burst into the periphery of the Solar System, passing just 10,000 astronomical units from the Sun. At that moment, GJ 710 will rise in the night sky brighter than Sirius, becoming the most dazzling star visible from Earth!

 What will this uninvited guest bring?

Scientists wonder, as the mysterious Ort Cloud, which will be the star's main target, remains an enigma. Likely, we're in for a cosmic fireworks display: comets and asteroids will rush into the inner Solar System, threatening Earth. Some objects on the periphery will break their connection with the Sun, joining or setting off on a free journey through the galaxy.

But don't panic! This star's gravity is too weak to disturb the orbits of planets or dwarf objects like Pluto, Sedna, or Makemake. However, humanity  if it survives until that moment will get a unique chance to peek into space from the front row, studying a star as closely as never before. It is not just a star, it's a cosmic show that cannot be missed.
