calendar event reminders:
-2.8 million years: HD 7977 flyby. disturbed ort cloud. (.48 light years / 1k AU, conflicting data)
-161,000 years: GJ 3379 (Giclas 99-49) flyby (4.08 light years)
40,000 years: voyager 2 passes within 1.7 light years of Ross 248, voyager 1 passes within 1.6 light years of Gliese 445
80,000 years: Ross 128 becomes closest star for 9,000 years. awkward that we sent nudes. (different graphic, I must be reading conflicting data... damn, ah whoops that's 248)
1.29 million years: Gliese 710 flyby (1/25 distance of proxima centuri, bright as a planet, .16 light years)
due to simultaneous messages, both star systems think we're cheating, but we're just polyamorous.
