As for a cover up - given the number of other planets discovered in this solar system in recent years, not to say those around other stars, why on earth would NASA cover up the discovery of another planet in this solar system?

I don't like it when people fall hook line and sinker for this bunk and then try to lure other folk into the hoax. I feel that it does a disservice to the vulnerable folk in our society. Vulnerable folk that may not be so vulnerable if they took time to read credible sources and draw conclusions on their own and not just reproduce some guy on crystallinks warped THEORY.
Please forgive me for my blunt attitude, I have a family member who is a bit unstable. This kind of crap can really set them off and leave them in a state of paranoia and panic.

I will not intrude on your thread any more and may re-evaluate how I deal with these topics. I think the best way is to keep a file on my computer of debunking arguements and politely post them. I now realise these may work with posters here even if it does not work well at home.
Hooroo.

A special class of binary stars is the X-ray binaries, so-called because they emit X-rays. X-ray binaries are made up of a normal star and a collapsed star (a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole). These pairs of stars produce X-rays if the stars are close enough together that material is pulled off the normal star by the gravity of the dense, collapsed star. The X-rays come from the area around the collapsed star where the material that is falling toward it is heated to very high temperatures (over a million degrees!)
Explanation: Our Sun is unusual in that it is alone - most stars occur in multiple or binary systems . In a binary system, the higher mass star will evolve faster and will eventually become a compact object - either a white dwarf star, a neutron star, or black hole. When the lower mass star later evolves into an expansion phase, it may be so close to the compact star that its outer atmosphere actually falls onto the compact star. Such is the case diagrammed above. Here gas from a blue giant star is shown being stripped away into an accretion disk around its compact binary companion. Gas in the accretion disk swirls around, heats up, and eventually falls onto the compact star. Extreme conditions frequently occur on the surface of the compact star as gas falls in, many times causing detectable X-rays, gamma-rays, or even cataclysmic novae explosions. Studying the extreme conditions in these systems tells us about the inner properties of ordinary matter around us.
This is 'Eris' one of the new dwarf planets that NASA has found. I want you to notice on both sides it has a sort of 'tail.' So I guess the concept of a tail isn't so far-fetched now is it whether its dust or radiation, does it matter?
