"The Star" by H.G. Wells is a compelling short story that explores humanity's place in the universe through the sudden appearance of a rogue star hurtling towards the solar system. As it nears Earth, the star's gravitational pull causes widespread devastation, altering climates and landscapes, and prompting deep reflections on the fragility of human existence. Amidst the chaos, people from different walks of life grapple with the imminent threat, showcasing a range of human reactions from despair to resilience.
