New research is showing previous indications were right that Scholz's star passed less than a light year fro our solar system and disturbed objects in the Oort cloud.
This at a time when our ancestor's were moving out of Africa some 70,000 years ago.

Leaves me amazed at just what all has happened in long ago times as bodies in the universe interact with one another.
This stare is trucking right along as it is 20 light years away now.

Astronomers announced new evidence on March 20, 2018, that the passage of Scholz´s star 70,000 years ago gravitationally disturbed our solar system’s comets and asteroids. The evidence still exists, these researchers say, in the movements of some of these objects marked by that stellar encounter. Their study will appear in the May 1, 2018, issue of the peer-reviewed journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

Astronomers have wondered about Scholz’s star at least since 2015, when a team of astronomers led by Eric Mamajek gave details of a possible stellar flyby, the closest documented so far, in a study in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
