Interesting article here about a neutron star being booted out of the MW at 3 Million MPH.<br /><br />http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/071128-cosmic-cannonball.html<br /><br />This article got me to wondering two things:<br /><br />1. If some passing star interaction resulted in the sun being booted out of the MW, would all the planets (or at least the inner planets) tag along? My guess is that at least the inner planets would tag along.<br /><br />2. Assuming that at least the inner planets tagged along, is there any reason to think that there would be a negative impact for life on earth? My guess is that there would be minimal to no impact on life on earth.<br /><br />Thoughts?
