I almost started looking up if anything interesting happened in the solar system around that time, but then I got to this part:
> Comets perturbed from the Oort cloud would require roughly two million years to get to the inner Solar System
That's wild. The star system itself is already 22 light years away, but its effects may not be felt for millions of years still.
