"Sun's Nemesis Pelted Earth with Comets, Study Suggests"

a dark object may be occasionally kicking comets in our direction. Nicknamed "Nemesis" or "The Death Star," (and now Tyche?) this undetected object could be a red or brown dwarf star, or an even darker presence several times the mass of Jupiter.

why do scientists think something could be hidden beyond the edge of our solar system? priginally, Nemesis was suggested as a way to explain a cycle of mass extinctions on Earth in the geological record, which seem to occur once per 26 million years.. Nemesis orbits the Sun at a distance of about 50,000 to 100,000 AU (about 0.8-1.5 light-years), somewhat beyond the Oort cloud.

So a little asian rave sounding beats and pics of different celestial objects means a comet flurry is "being hurled" at us? Come on man im still on an ELENIN HANGOVER

How would anyone detect an UNDETECTED OBJECT??
If it's undetected....It's a figment of imagination! A wild guess...or not real!

our Sun (a very average star) could, and does, eat comets for breakfast.

If it's undetectable, How do they know it's orbit?

We did this last week, and the week before that. At the very least give us something to actually discredit, beyond speculation. Who wants to play volleyball instead?

Well, first of all this is just plain wrong, if Earth's 5 mass extinctions occur every 26 million years we are more than double past due for the 6th one, the last one occurring 65 million years ago. In fact if you do a little math, you are suggesting that the first 3 mass extinctions happened during the couple hundred million years the dinosaurs roamed the earth so this is clearly wrong.

Instead of the OP how about we just stick with the hypothetical existance of this start without all the fear mongering and innacurate claims.

WISE and the brown/red dwarf

"The final release of analyzed results is to be released in March 2012."

Until then pretty much the data is still being calculated, there really shouldn't be anymore fear mongering post but discussion shouldn't cease.

Also some follow up on WISE and objects in our solar system.

Thanks for trying to put the word out there, to bad people are just not paying attention to what they should.

But soon they will regreat it, very soon.

Nemesis is an outdated hypothesis. As you mentioned it depended on a periodicity to mass extinctions. This was found not to be true, and coupled with other observations caused the Nemesis hypothesis to be disregarded. The founders of Nemesis hypothesis (Whitmire and Matese) now support the Tyche hypothesis. This is a large planet 25,000 AU away that is used to explain the orbits of long-period comets. It has nothing to do with mass extinctions and currently has few supporters outside Matese and Whitmire.

Again? Really? This video has been posted here numerous times already. What is being discussed is Tyche. This is a hypothetical planet 25,000 AU away that has no bearing on Earth in any way.

I see this post was full of naysayers and has been inactive for awhile....so I feel like poking a stick at it again. I found this article in Astrobiology Mag. So maybe it has some merit?

www.astrobio.net...

funny that at the end of the article they say this:


“I don't suspect we'll have completed the search for candidate objects until mid-2012, and then we may need up to a year of time to complete telescopic follow-up of those objects,” said Kirkpatrick.

Neither Kirkpatrick nor Wright think Nemesis is disrupting the Oort cloud and sending comets towards Earth, however. Because they envision a more benign orbit, they prefer the name "Tyche" (the good sister).



very interesting article if you care to read it.
