Astrophysicist Paul Sutter considers this an unlikely scenario, however, it does not exclude this state of affairs. Passing by Stars of the solar system can attract the Earth to themselves, and carry away themselves into interstellar space.
Sutter believes that when the earth ends up in interstellar space, then she will have to wander through our galaxy, and the life present on it will inevitably disappear. Moreover, she will be impossible.
In this situation, there is a risk that the Earth will feel on itself gravitational impact of a passing star. Scientists call such a phenomenon is the “three-body problem” – when the interaction of three bodies in outer space is less predictable than two. At the interaction of three bodies, any shift or deviation may result significant changes in the shortest possible time time.
In recent studies, astronomers have calculated that a star, passing through the solar system at right angles should pass no further than the orbit of Jupiter and possess sufficient mass to knock out our planet from its own orbit. In other cases the gravitational influence of a passing star will be negligible.
Previously, scientists from NASA said that around our solar system there is a wall of hot plasma that separates it from interstellar space.
