Alien Star Buzzed Our Solar System

Anyone want to do the math and see where it is now, then go check and see if FD has it in the map? ;)

New research indicates that 70,000 years ago a dim star passed within a mere 8 trillion kilometers (5 trillion miles) of our solar system.

The funny part of the article is that it has an illustration that looks like a screenie from ED. Except not as good.

The astronomy theory that I like is that every so often systems collide and knock black holes out of their trajectory. So these "rogue" black holes just wander around and eventually find a gravity well bigger then theirs and then blammo. Just think, it wouldn't take a very large rogue black hole to ruin your whole week!
