NASA Reveals: Massive Object 'Lurking on Edge of Solar System

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Scientists using ground based observatories have discovered a dwarf planet that is believed to have the most distant orbit found beyond the known edge of our solar system. Named 2012 VP113

 

Our known solar system consists of the rocky planets like Earth, which are close to the sun; the gas giant planets, which are further out; and the frozen objects of the Kuiper belt, which lie just beyond Neptune’s orbit. Beyond this, there appears to be an edge to the solar system where only one object somewhat smaller than Pluto, Sedna, was previously known to inhabit for its entire orbit. But the newly found 2012 VP113 has an orbit that stays even beyond Sedna, making it the furthest known in the solar system.

 

Both Sedna and 2012 VP113 were found near their closest approach to the sun, but they both have orbits that go out to hundreds of AU, at which point they would be too faint to discover.  The similarity in the orbits found for Sedna, 2012 VP113 and a few other objects near the edge of the Kuiper Belt suggests the new object’s orbit might be influenced by the potential presence of a yet unseen planet perhaps up to 10 times the size of Earth.

      alien craft observing earth however it is mother craft so it does not move, reason when it enters earth gravity it could malfunction so it uses small craft that reach closer to earth them they beam down personal to investigate this folks are beam down on a atomic structure just like humans but no bond nothing that links the atoms “gluons” as you call them atoms are disperse but those atoms are unique “consciousness works somehow on the same principle, grade a atoms if you like.. so is a human shape without matter, however it has subatomic matter invisible to the human eye but visible to animals and others species. they however are able to render human equipment totally blind so they are no detected, this takes place because the signal is absorb, is like light goes from your eye to a mirror but you are unable to perceive anything , because there is no reflection, some vampire stories have the same tale.
