next likely to take place 240,000 to 470,000 years from now

Need to prepare for the cosmic bombardment when a star ejects comets ands like from the Ort Cloud towards the solar system.

The Completeness-Corrected Rate of Stellar Encounters with the Sun From the First Gaia Data Release

The title needs some work or it'll never sell. "Planetarium Orgy" - now, people are gonna buy that.

Understanding when these encounters will happen is also important since they are known to cause disturbances in the Oort Cloud, sending comets towards Earth.

More correctly, wouldn't that be, "...sending comets towards the sun"?

Of course, the earth could get in their way....

I don’t know how, but I’m certain this is caused by climate change...

Just to be clear, isn’t this “Oort Cloud” a theoretical model to explain the existence of comets AND a multi-billion year old Solar System?

For every visible star there are likely many dwarf star too cold to shine, the brown dwarf like an overgrown Jupiter.
