The red dots correspond to the positions of the stars studied by the [[European Southern Observatory]] in a monitoring programme.<ref>{{cite web|title=Milky Way Past Was More Turbulent Than Previously Known | url= http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0411/ |work=ESO News|publisher = [[European Southern Observatory]] |date = 2004-04-06 |quote= After more than 1,000 nights of observations spread over 15 years, they have determined the spatial motions of more than 14,000 solar-like stars residing in the neighbourhood of the Sun.}}</ref>]]

Over long periods of time, the slow independent motion of stars change in both relative position and in their distance from the observer. This can cause other currently distant stars to fall within a stated range, which may be readily calculated and predicted using accurate [[astrometric]] measurements of [[parallax]] and total [[proper motion]]s, along with [[spectroscopic]]ally determined [[radial velocities]]. Although extrapolations can be made into the past or future, they are subject to increasingly significant cumulative errors over very long periods.<ref name="Matthews1994"/> Inaccuracies of these measured parameters make determining the true minimum distances of any encountering stars or brown dwarfs fairly difficult.<ref>See also: [[Stellar kinematics]].</ref>

One of the first stars known to approach the Sun particularly close is [[Gliese 710]]. The star, whose mass is roughly half that of the Sun, is currently 62 light-years from the Solar System. It was first noticed in 1999 using data from the [[Hipparcos]] satellite, and was estimated to pass less than {{Convert|1.3|ly|pc}} from the Sun in 1.4 million years.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=García-Sánchez |first1=Joan |last2=Preston |first2=Robert A. |last3=Jones |first3=Dayton L. |last4=Weissman |first4=Paul R. |last5=Lestrade |first5=Jean-François |last6=Latham |first6=David W. |last7=Stefanik |first7=Robert P. |title=Stellar Encounters with the Oort Cloud Based on ''Hipparcos'' Data |journal=The Astronomical Journal |date=February 1999 |volume=117 |issue=2 |pages=1042–1055 |doi=10.1086/300723 |bibcode=1999AJ....117.1042G |s2cid=122929693 |doi-access=free }}</ref> With the release of [[Gaia (spacecraft)|''Gaia'']]'s observations of the star, it has since been refined to a much closer {{convert|0.178|ly|pc}}, close enough to significantly disturb objects in the [[Oort cloud]], which extends {{convert|1.2|ly|pc}} from the Sun.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bailer-Jones |first1=C.
