ESA sees stardust storms heading for Solar System
PRESS RELEASE
Date Released: Monday, August 18, 2003
Source: Artemis Society
Until ten years ago, most astronomers did not believe stardust could enter our Solar System. Then ESA's Ulysses spaceprobe discovered minute stardust particles leaking through the Sun's magnetic shield, into the realm of Earth and the other planets. Now, the same spaceprobe has shown that a flood of dusty particles is heading our way.
...........
What is surprising in this new Ulysses discovery is that the amount of stardust has continued to increase even after the solar activity calmed down and the magnetic field resumed its ordered shape in 2001.
Scientists believe that this is due to the way in which the polarity changed during solar maximum. Instead of reversing completely, flipping north to south, the Sun's magnetic poles have only rotated at halfway and are now more or less lying sideways along the Sun's equator. This weaker configuration of the magnetic shield is letting in two to three times more stardust than at the end of the 1990s. Moreover, this influx could increase by as much as ten times until the end of the current solar cycle in 2012.
The heliospheric current sheet is a three-dimensional form of a Parker spiral that results from the influence of the Sun's rotating magnetic field on the plasma in the interplanetary medium.

Why do people say it would be difficult to find if it were in our solar system? They've already found brown dwarfs.. 13 million light years.. 18 million.. and even around distant stars.
So they can find all of those brown dwarfs, but people think it's unlikely to find one basically on our solar doorstep? I think if it were in our solar system, someone would have found it.

Maybe this is in the post and I missed it... by why haven't we been able to detect this objects gravitational tug. We are hunting for planets around distance stars by detecting gravitional wobbles in the star, this makes me believe we should be able to hunt this object down by the same means.

The question is likely to be settled when the data from WISE is gone over with a fine toothed comb. Whitmire and Matese are certainly expecting that it will prove their Tyche hypothesis.edit on 9/7/2011 by Phage because: (no reason given)

I don't rule it out, but I feel most of these anomalies are better explained by a star that passed close to the solar system within the last could hundred thousand to a couple million years.

Perhaps your material here can open a few minds beyond the tin foil hat insanity of Nibiru and 2012 to the idea that there is far more to our Galaxy than Humans have even begun to imagine yet. What lies in the Universe beyond is truly something to wonder about with excitement.
Sedna
The coldest most distant place known in the solar system; possibly the first object in the long-hypothesized Oort cloud.

Doesnt anyone remember that Space probe Nasa Sent to go do research on Pluto which made no sense at all because y would we need to do research on the smallest and coldest planet in the solar system. They also said it would take 10 years to reach it, it was launched in 2005...

But think about it, if it had been caused by a passing star, and that star is gone, eventually Sedna would have closed its highly elongated elliptical orbit joining the Solar system as another Pluto type planetesimal, and the other anomalies would have dissapeared as well, but they haven't. So there must be something still causing these anomalies and keeping Sedna in it's highly elliptical orbit.

What on Earth are you talking about? If something gravitationally increased the eccentricity of Sedna's orbit and then left the scene, Sedna would remain in a highly elliptical orbit. It's orbit wouldn't suddenly become circular again.
...
In the May 2006 issue of Discover, Dr. Brown stated: "Sedna shouldn't be there. There's no way to put Sedna where it is. It never comes close enough to be affected by the sun, but it never goes far enough away from the sun to be affected by other stars... Sedna is stuck, frozen in place; theres no way to move it, basically theres no way to put it there -- unless it formed there. But its in a very elliptical orbit like that. It simply cant be there. Theres no possible way - except it is. So how, then?"

great work op.
however just intuitively i sense something big is in the offing in 2012
and i mean extinction scale

IMO it couldn't be a singularity. If the secular increase in the distance of the planets and the Sun, and the other anomalies were caused by a singularity then nothing could be escaping it.
Not even light, or any form of energy could escape a singularity, and instead of the Solar System receiving more energy from sources outside it, the singularity would be attracting even the energy and light from the Sun.
Since the Solar System is receiving energy, radiation, interstellar dust, etc from outside the Solar System, there is no way that a singularity is the cause of these anomalies.
I didn't say it would suddenly change it's orbit, but without an external source to keep it in it's highly elongated and elliptical orbit Sedna would have slowly evolved into a more circular orbit
