Gliese 710

BASIC INFO

Gliese 710 is a star currently located about 62 light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens. It is a K-type main-sequence star, smaller and cooler than Sol. Gliese 710 is notable because it is on a trajectory that will bring it extremely close to our solar system in the future. In approximately 1.29 million years, it is expected to pass within just 0.06 light-years (about 9,000 astronomical units) of Sol.

SOME RANDOM FACTS

Gliese 710 is predicted to pass very close to our Solar System, coming within about 1.3 light-years of Earth in approximately 1.3 million years.
This may effect the outer regions of the solar system, and hurl asteroids and other small objects into the inner parts of the solar system, possibly putting Earth at risk of an impact event.
Gliese 710 has a relatively high proper motion, meaning it is moving quickly across the sky. This movement is what will eventually bring it so close to our Solar System.
