HD 7977

HD 7977 (also designated as TYC 4034-1077-1 or USNO-A2 1500-01356484) is a G-type main-sequence star located in the constellation of Cassiopeia, around 246.9 light-years away from Earth. HD 7977 is notable for its close flyby of the Solar System 2.8 million years ago. Its flyby may have taken it close enough to the Sun that it penetrated deep into the Oort Cloud and disturbed the population of Oort Cloud bodies and long-period comets there. Its mass is equivalent to 1.07 times the Sun's mass.
