Hi every one I was just browsing thorugh APOD website of nasa and came across this picture posted on october 19,1996.
The picture in the page is a representation of a red dwarf star a mere 8 light years away.
Heres the link to that page.

What's the closest extrasolar planetary system? It may well be planets of the dim red dwarf star cataloged as Lalande 21185 -- a mere 8 light
years distant. This star is too faint to be seen by the naked eye and its planets have not been imaged directly. Instead, their presence is inferred
by a long series of telescopic observations, tracking the star as it wiggles and wobbles in mutual gravitational response to the masses of its
orbiting planets.
As you can see the planetary system is nearby and it also has planets orbiting it. And further it is a dwarf star and has planets orbiting it.
University of Pitsburgh astronomer George Gatewood recently announced that much of Lalande 21185's wobble is most likely due to an unseen planet
with approximately 90% of the mass of Jupiter and an orbital period of 5.8 years. His work also indicates that a second and possibly third planet of
similar mass could well be present in the system. Massive planets orbiting a red dwarf star would be very different from the Earth -- as illustrated
in this artist's vision of a Jupiter-sized planet with rings and moons lit bya cool, dim sun.
So, you can see it clearly resembles planet x though it does not orbit the sun, and I think this planetary system was misunderstood as planet x.
So, please post your opinion.
- However having said that, it's always good to have a fertile
imagination
