"Evidence our Sun may be part of a long cycle binary system"

[Saman]

Hi,

I apologize if the following article as already been covered on this forum and I am not aware of it. I was just reading, studying, and striving to understand some concepts in relation to "Understanding Precession of the Equinox" and I came across this paper titled "Understanding Precession of the Equinox, Evidence our Sun may be part of a long cycle binary system" by Walter Cruttenden and Vince Dayes. The link is the following:

I just thought to share it as it may perhaps prove to be scientifically another good corroborative source for LKJ's article titled "Binary Stars: Does our Sun have a Dark Companion?", or so I think:

Someone send that to me this morning.

Pictured: First glimpse of an alien planet in orbit around a sun just like ours


Scientists have snapped the first picture of a planet outside our solar system orbiting a star similar to the sun.

The distant world is giant and has about eight times the mass of Jupiter. It lies far out from its star about 330 times the distance of the Earth from the Sun.

Images of the young star and what seems to be its companion planet were taken by astronomers from the University of Toronto using the Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

Despite the planet's strangeness, the star is quite like our own sun.

'The star is very typical. It's like the sun, just younger. But the planet is quite unusual. It's on the high end of the mass of the extrasolar planets found so far. And it's also very far away from its star,' Ray Jayawardhana, one of the scientists, said.

The stellar pair are located in our Milky Way galaxy about 500 light years from Earth. A light year is about 6 trillion miles, or the distance light travels in a year.

Mr Jayawardhana said there is evidence of water and carbon monoxide in the planet's atmosphere. The planet is not thought to be a good candidate for extraterrestrial life because it appears to be a gas giant and therefore inhospitable to life.


Previously, the only planets outside the solar system to be photographed have belonged to tiny, dim stars known as brown dwarfs.

And while roughly 300 extrasolar planets have been detected by noting their gravitational tug on their parent stars, it is rare to find one large enough to image directly.

'"It's always been a goal to take a picture of a planet around another star. The challenge, of course, is that planets are much, much fainter than stars,' Mr Jayawardhana added.

The team said they are working to confirm that the planet is indeed orbiting this star as it appears, but it may take up to two years to get that data.

Hi Namaste, could you perhaps elaborate a bit on why you think this is related to our binary star system? I'm not seeing the connection, so perhaps I'm missing something?

Hi Anart,

You are not missing something. I am the one who saw a connection where there is none.

Should have posted it on a new thread.

The above link doesn't seem to work (it sends me to newfrontiersinscience.com instead). Here is one I found that works:
