With the vastness of the Universe, everything in it seems so spread out. But some objects are closer than you might realize. Every now and then, a random interstellar asteroid passes through the Oort cloud, the wall of icy debris at the very edge of our Solar System. But what if a rogue star unceremoniously rampaged right through the Oort cloud?

What would happen if a second sun entered our solar system?
Would Earth burn, freeze, or find a new balance between two stars?
In this episode of “What If”, we explore the mind-blowing possibilities of a double-sun universe — from changing gravity and climate, to the end of life as we know it.
