"Based on his calculations, Gomes thinks a Neptune-size world, about four times bigger than Earth, orbiting 140 billion miles (225 billion kilometers) away from the sun—about 1,500 times farther than Earth—would do the trick." [ link to news.nationalgeographic.com] What are the implications? Any chance this could be the feared brown dwarf of Terral? <<-- LOL!! Anyway. Times.. they are a changin.. |

Hmmmm, interesting indeed. 1,500 times as far from the sun as Earth? Shouldn't be a problem anytime soon I'm guessing. |

They've been saying this for decades. Planet X and all that. Of course, it could be "dark matter" or some other nonsense that they make up to fill the holes in their theories. |
