The real question is if the earth becomes a rogue planet or if Jupiter captures most/all of the remaining solar system. Jupiter is technically a failed star, so could it finally get it's glowup from being the sun's understudy and keep us all together until we fall into the gravitational well of a new star?

If the sun just disappears, I doubt even having another sun would keep everything from flying off to fuck knows where. Jupiter, by comparison, is beyond hope. The Barycenter is far from Jupiter.

Only two ways to find out. Time to fire up universe sandbox, cause I'm fresh out of the ability to delete the sun in the production environment.
