I remember hearing about something that possibly they are talking about....now I only caught the tail end of it on Television.

It seems that in 2034 Estimated date -- (this was on TLC)
Our solar system and another will pass through one another and some collision of asteroids will hit the Earth, but nothing massive enough to end life as we know it.
Also it seems as if they also believe that some of Pluto's moons will leave our orbit and shift to the other Solar system. With this change the other planets will slow down their path around the sun... This means a longer year for the earth but by no means the end of the world. (their experts also said the Earths orbit has already shifted the position and time of orbit in the path around the sun which explains the Ice Age)

That is what I heard is supposed to happen.

They would know more in 2020 said the report to further and closer predict the outcome.

I was reminded of that Facebook update talking about how if the Earth was 10 feet closer or farther away from the Sun we would die...people really need to check up on their Science, this stuff is basic!

Note: This isn't a dig at the OP, he's done the right thing by asking for evidence rather than just accepting something he saw on the Internet. Good on you, Jim.

Precisely. The earth's orbit is elliptical, IIRC the distance from the sun varies by around a million KM between the closest and most distant parts of our orbit, so the argument that we'd fry / freeze simply doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

OMG!!! The Earth will be destroyed! Everyone, please do not panic. Drive safely to your nearest space port and board the next flight to Mars. Seriously though, if such an occurrence did happen, as others have said. We would have known.

Planets can change relative orbits.

But if Earth had, you'd notice a different amount of light, and a big temperature change.

This idea may have originated from this:

Trojan Asteroid Shares Orbit with Earth

This animation illustrates the orbit of 2010 TK7 (green dots), the first known Earth Trojan asteroid, discovered by NEOWISE, the asteroid-hunting portion of NASA's WISE mission. Trojans are asteroids that share an orbit with a planet, circling around the sun in front of or behind the planet. They circle around stable gravity wells, called Lagrange points, which circle the sun like Earth does.

The movie follows Earth as it travels along its orbit (blue dots) around the sun, so Earth remains at the front of our view. The various objects are not drawn to scale.

Asteroid 2010 TK7 has an extreme orbit that takes the asteroid far above and below the plane of Earth's orbit. The motion above and below the plane is referred to as an epicycle. In addition, the asteroid moves within the plane of Earth's orbit in what is called libration, circling horizontally around its stable point every 395 years.

One of two possibilities here:

1) He is mental (literally)
2) You're being trolled.

Each is much more likely than the existence of a planet which we've never noticed colliding with ours based on a sudden change of our orbit.

If this report really did exist, it would be general knowledge for all of us as it'd be all over the news.

If this were the case, we would pretty much already have two suns, a second solar system would have to be that close if it were to happen in 2034.

There are however a few known close to earth objects coming by in the next 100 years, all of which have a possibility of hitting, it's too far ahead to tell.

Supposedly They say the outer edges only will pass through. One another

No. Either you're misunderstanding, or you're thinking of something else. In the next few years, I can only think of a handful of objects Earth has a chance encounter with, and an entire solar system isn't one. In the long term picture, the Milky Way Galaxy (our home galaxy) will collide with Andromeda, but that won't be until well after Humans are gone. The nearest start to us is still Proxima Centauri, a Brown Dwarf, and it won't be coming any closer to us.

The process would likely take thousands of years to complete and even if the outer edges of this mystery solar system past through our own edges, the Star would likely already be at a maximum of three times the distance of our sun to the Earth.

*looks out window*

Nope, just one Sun.

Also, if another solar system was really this close, the gravity would totally screw our orbits up and likely result in the destruction of both solar systems. There wouldn't be a "edges passing each other".

if the second sun was say out past Neptune we would see it as just another star
the planets are REAAAAALY far apart.

thats part of the problem NASA is having ATM with trying to look for the Sun's twin, majority of the solar systems we have found are Binary or above Star systems, was said that a Solar system like ours is Extremly Rare. the suns twin is belived to be a Brown Dwarf or something that with its estimated distance being in the Ort Cloud and its coolness/brightness being as it would be extremly hard to find.

as currently there is a debate on what is knocking the orbits of random objects from the cloud into the solar system at the regular intervals that have been seen so far.

oh sweet i found an article like what i read, i forget where i read it, but i doubt it was from Telegraph

It would at the very least be visible through the day time clearly.
