Could also explain that Mars sized body crashing into Earth and leading to the creation of the moon I guess?

I got a question which is so natural that even if the answer is a simple as “it is now to far away”, I’m surprised that the paper didn’t speak about it. If the star is smaller than our Sun, then its lifespan should be longer, so it should still exists. What are the odd that we can identify it ?

So, do they know where the star is ? Was it a sun like star or a red dwarf ? Suppose it was not a star and was something completely different ? Suppose we where in a satellite galaxy that collided with the milky way and that is what caused the disruption.

Stars have 100% thrown Oort cloud objects into disseray, and it’s even questionable what percentage are even from our own solar systems formation vs acquired when brushing past other stats. Anything not on the orbital plane likely perturbed or captured.
