Hint of companion star back in... 1987!

[Deleted member 8431]

Hey guys!

Just found out an old article from 1987 discussing a possible companion star in relation to cometary showers and extinction events. Published by LBL (Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory) Research.

_http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/extinctions-nemesis.html

Does a companion star to sun cause earth's periodic mass extinction?

THE THEORIZED COMPANION STAR, THROUGH ITS GRAVITATIONAL PULL, UNLEASHES A FURIOUS STORM OF COMETS IN THE INNER SOLAR SYSTEM LASTING FROM 100,000 TO TWO MILLION YEARS. SEVERAL OF THESE COMETS STRIKE THE EARTH.

Now there is a lot of data in the article and I can't say how accurate it fully is. The fact alone that they had discussed it back in 1987 is really what caught my attention.

They say that the homo sapiens has risen 250,000 years ago. That's close to the Fall which was approximated to 309,000 years ago by the C's.

What do you think? For how long has this been covered up?

Yes, and a number of researchers have worked on the problem with varying results. After all the other possibilities are looked at, it does seem that this one is the most likely, but there is a lot of to-ing and fro-ing about it. Might want to read Muller's "Nemesis" and Clube's "The Cosmic Serpent" and Firestone et al's "The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophe" for several theories.

Interesting. Thanks for the references.

Seems like the NASA has also finally admitted that this star had been observed but also that they didn't want to make too much noise about it because of the 2012 hysteria. What a joke.

That smells so bad already. Just as the C's have said (in relation to comets though) these dudes are becoming desesperate in trying to cover the evidences/truth.

Hi JayMark, Just wondering how you conclude that NASA has admitted observing it?

I'll try to find the article that I saw and post it back.

Humm, can't find it so fast.

I think it was an article that first talks about spanish astromoners 'obserivng' it. Star even got named.

But it might have been something else as well.

Best thing is to keep searching. I'll do my best. Think it was even on SOTT.

I'll be back. *Terminator's theme*

**Note: According to Wikipedia, first time it was theorized was in 1984 so three years before the OP article.**

Have a look at this thread where I posted about an article in the 1980's that came out in the Washington Post.

I really can't find the article back.

So just consider the statement unconfirmed for now.

I know it said that NASA didn't want to bring the subject up because of the nibiru/planet x controversy regarding the 2012 hysteria. That I remember clearly. So the only thing I can't confirm is the source and if it was about the companion star and not another body like Elenin for instance. So in other words, nothing much solid.

If I relate to an article from SOTT in 2011, here is what David Morrison (an astrobiologist) had to say in regards to it;

Q: If we had a black or brown dwarf in our outer solar system, I guess no one could see it, right?

A: "No, that's not correct. If we had a brown dwarf star in the outer solar system, we could see it, detect its infrared energy and measure its perturbing effect on other objects. There is no brown dwarf in the solar system, otherwise we would have detected it. And there is no such thing as a black dwarf."

Pretty lame.

Spanish Astronomers Claim Dwarf Sun Beyond Pluto

The idea of a new planet being discovered in our Solar System is pretty exciting. Even more so because of the many theories about "planet-x" or "Nibiru" being associated with space aliens and the doomsday prophecies of 2012. Scientists at places like NASA and famous observatories have deflected inquiries about the discovery for a few years now, mainly because they feared being associated with these "fringe" theories. But like it or not -- it has happened. Well... According to a team of Spanish astronomers who call themselves the StarViewer Team.

The group made the rounds of all the news web sites in the past two weeks, claiming they discovered something very significant. It's almost twice the size of Jupiter and just beyond our furthest planetoid, Pluto. Although it's not a planet, it appears to have planets or large satellites encircling it. It's what astronomers call a "brown dwarf star" and its official name is "G1.9". . . .

Haven't found the sott article yet as I think it was published under a different title.

The original source was a press release on the NWOlibrary website, categorized as: Recent News > Space > Spanish Astronomers Claim Dwarf Sun Beyond Pluto. Said website has been revamped since and I was not able to locate the piece over there now.

That's it. That's exactly what I had seen. Came from here and not from SOTT.

Thank you.
