know how we can guess that something is whether or not you see? Well, astronomers have the feeling of the presence of a huge object, hidden in space.
And when we say huge we mean GIGANTIC.
may be a brown dwarf star or a gas giant planet, it would be on patrol in the outermost point of our solar system, far beyond Pluto. The subject suggested, called Tyche, is estimated to be four times larger than Jupiter and 15,000 times farther from the Sun than Earth.
Astrophysicists John Matese and Daniel Whitmire, at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, believe that the data of WISE, the NASA infrared space telescope, Tyche will confirm the existence and exact position within two years.
The presence of a solid object so close to the Oort cloud could explain the barrage of comets from an unexpected direction.
Its orbit, 27 million years, could also explain the periodicity of mass extinctions on Earth, say scientists.
Brown dwarfs are cool stars "failed" their darkness and lack of ultraviolet radiation can make them difficult to detect. The gas giant planets are huge - think of Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune - are composed of gas and can not have a solid surface like Earth's.
Whitmire said that Tyche is likely to be composed of hydrogen and helium with splashes of color and bands like Jupiter.
"We expect to have even the moons," he continued to explain. "All the outer planets have them." In the present case would also be huge.
One of these may be, some say, Nibiru, to the ancient Babylonians, was the celestial body associated with the god Marduk. The name comes from the Akkadian language and means crossing point or transition. In most of the Babylonian texts it is identified with the planet Jupiter in tablet No 5 of 'Enûma Elis could be the North Star, which at that time was not one today, but maybe Kochab Thuban.
According to contemporary writers Zecharia Sitchin and Burak Eldem, the Sumerian writings when they talk about Nibiru would relate to an unknown planet today. Sitchin's theories have been widely disputed by "official science" but is not the first time that real scientists have had to change his mind, the discovery provided for in this heavenly body will have to rewrite a lot of books.
Zecharia Sitchin:
(Baku, 11 July 1922 - New York, October 9, 2010) was an Azeri writer. He was the author of many popular books on the so-called archeology or pseudoarcheologia mysterious, and is a supporter of the "ancient astronaut theory" as an explanation of the origin of man. The controversial theories of Sitchin, based on his personal interpretation of the Sumerian texts, are considered pseudoscience by the scientific and academic community, but show a good result in the popular literature.
He attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to an alleged alien race called the Nephilim (Hebrew) or Anunnaki (in Sumerian), from the planet Nibiru, a hypothetical planet in the 9th solar system from the period of revolution some 3600 years now the Babylonian mythology.
Sitchin also claims that at the main belt of asteroids in the solar system would have found a planet that the ancient Sumerians called Tiamat, which would be expected from the Titius-Bode Law.
Sitchin's view is not supported by any scientific evidence, and his personal theory is not considered reliable due to the absence of evidence, both from the linguistic point of view that from a scientific perspective.
Sitchin's theories should be a few seconds into the category of non-religious creationism, but the same Sitchin shows in his lyrics notions of theistic evolution, although he claims that the man would in his opinion the result of hybridization experiments genetic terrestrial species conducted by aliens.
But coming back to us, the existence of Tyche was hypothesized in 1984 but was thought to be Nemesis, a dark star companion of the sun. It 'was the subject of astronomical research and debate since then.
To distinguish Nemesis star theory (originally the Greek goddess of joy or pain distributed in the proper, and therefore means nemesis event, the negative situation that follows a particularly successful act of justice as compensating distributed by fate, in the modern British culture, the term has come to mean an enemy), Matese and Whitmire asked that the 'object they suggested we call Tyche (Greek mythology, Tyche (or Tyche, from the greek Τύχη) is the personification of luck) the good sister of the goddess Nemesis.
If the existence is confirmed, if it really was so great, if it really gets too close to our planet, if we discovered with "terror" in 2012 that really something terrible will happen because of him, then we would have the assurance that some legends were actually just memories of events already experienced by our ancestors.
