SKIRMISHER

Scientists at the Cardiff Centre for Astrobiology built a computer model of our solar system’s movement and found that the solar system periodically passes through the densest part of the galaxy. And by densest, we mean comets colliding with Earth.

Incidentally, the last time the solar system (and the Earth) went through this “densest part of the galaxy,” dinosaurs died en masse 65 million years ago.

Good news: we’re about to re-enter it. Cheers.
