Astronomers Discover Dwarf Sun Beyond Pluto

by Gary Vey for viewzone                                                                                                                                      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 artronomers 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″.

 

                                    What’s a Brown Dwarf Star?

 
First we’ll explain WHAT these astronomers have discovered. Then we’ll discuss HOW they discovered it.
 
At the risk of being scientifically vague, I’ll try to explain the current understanding of how stars and planets form in space.
 
All matter attracts other matter. A larger mass will attract smaller masses towards it. In space this results in growing clouds of matter that tend to clump together and attract more matter. Since most of the matter in space is gaseous, these clouds eventually get so dense that they collapse into dense gaseous spheres. When they do this there is usually some “left over” matter that forms a ring around the sphere.If there is enough matter in a sphere of hydrogen, for example, it can cause so much compression at the shpere’s core that the hydrogen atoms begin to fuse together and a fusion-reaction ignites a new born star. In this reaction two hydrogen atoms join together to form one helium atom and release extra energy as radiation.

Scientists believe that the minimum mass needed to ignite a sun is about 13 times the known mass of the planet Jupiter — written as “13MJ.” If the mass is lower than this, the pressure in the core is not enough to ignite and the sphere will be hot ball of gas called a “brown dwarf.”

As a new star spins, the disk surrounding it gradually cools and the matter forms heavier elements like metals and minerals. These “rocks” eventually clump together and form solid spheres called planets.

Sometimes a solid sphere will attract some of the gas that is in the disk and this will result in a gaseous giant, like Jupiter and Saturn, which has a solid core but a thick gaseous atmosphere. These “gas giant” planets can be very massive but, because of their solid cores, they will never ignite and become stars.

This Brown Dwarf

This newly discovered “brown dwarf” is believed to have formed from the same condensed matter that gave birth to our Sun. It is believed that, after the large planets formed around the Sun, they pushed it to the edge of the Solar system where it formed a sphere about 1.9MJ — well below the mass needed to ignite it as a “sun.”Many suns that we observe in the galaxy are part of binary systems or double stars. There is debate about how two suns form from a single condensed cloud of matter. Some believe that they both form at the same time; others believe they split following the creation of one huge sun.

 
Sometimes both spheres are capable of fusion and both suns shine brightly, encircling each other around an imaginary point call the barycenter. Sometimes only one sun attains 13MJ and ignites, while its smaller companion, the brown dwarf, glows dimly and radiates heat. Astronomers usually can only see the brightest of the two, but because they both circle around a common barycenter, the wobble reveals the mass of the unseen companion.
 
We are close to our Sun and within its gravitational influence. So as we are travel through space, it appears to us that the G1.9 is moving in an elipse between our furthest planetoid, Pluto, and the edge of our Solar system, near the Oort Cloud.The newly discovered brown dwarf is reported to be located just about 60 to 66 AU (1 AU=the distance from the Sun to Earth) from us (its parigee), currently in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. Because of periodic gravitational disturbances in areas of space further out, specifically in the Oort Cloud, the Spanish group of astronomers believe G1.9 travels in an elliptical orbit extending possibly hundreds of AU beyond the furthest known planets (its apogee). Its position just beyond Pluto suggests it is at its closest approach to the Sun and Earth.
 
Space appears relatively free of debris [see image above] inside the planetary orbits. This is because the gravitational pull of each planet (a large mass) effectively collects the interplanetary debris (small mass). But there are exceptions.  http://www.viewzone.com/browndwarf.html

      This is just the same thing found in the 70′s. I would bet, and I guess it has not gotten any closer at all since then so it is a safe bet it is not a rogue dwarf and coming into our system but a part of it making us one of the many many binary star systems.

      In the shown picture it actually shows it gets only so close to Pluto on its revolutions. Most binary stars seem to spin with each other not on their own. Our star must not have the power to capture it on its closest moments. Nor is is strong enough or close enough to steam Pluto, or the other lumpy balls at the outer edges of system.

      I just love it when articles give us a little bit of the truth but fill in the rest with lies. It is impossible for this brown dwarf to be at its closest point to our sun. It is our sun that attracts and repells it. ALL binary star systems rotate AROUND each other not stop and go back the other way. Nothing but lies to throw you off as people begin to see it as it approaches. This object will circle around our sun at its appointed time in the near future. The Earth is already feeling its affects. Our electromagnetic field is twisting and distorting causing mass animal die offs, volcanic eruptions and an increase in massive earthquakes. Every year when the Earth is on this side of the sun from the direction this brown dwarf is coming from we get earthquakes that shift the Earth’s axis as in Chilli and Japan. NASA knows EXACTLY when it will be here. They are already preparing for it. It will be here anywhere from now until 2024 at the latest. I am expecting much sooner. The controlled world wide economic collapse and world war 3 is all planned around the RETURN of this brown dwarf. It is no secret it has PASSED THROUGH our solar system before. All of these things are meant to help the New World Order create their one world government with a one world currency (Mark of the beast / RFID). Complete world domination through global destruction and the eventual return of the Sons of Gods documented throughout history. Like they like to say, “Never let a good tradegy go to waste.” Don’t be decieved. The 70th week of Daniel is upon us. The birthing pains have begun. Keep your eye on Israel. All of the elite’s plans revolves around it.

      Note, Vulcan’s (our Sun’s companion brown dwarf star) perihelion is about 130 AU and aphelion is 448 AU. It has about half the mass of Jupiter.

      VULCAN’S ORBITAL PARAMETERS FROM BLAVETSKY’S THEOSOPHY

      It was almost found by Forbes in 1880.

      Its theoretical period and measured period have a 90% overlap and small error residuals. 4969.0 years +/- 5.7 (one sigma) years. vs. 4967.7 years +/- 8.14 (one sigma) years.

      Melancholia comes.

    • justyntoo

      just a thought about this m1.9 , if it comes within say 62au and then goes out some 100,000au then it is not part of us , but part of another system . since there is no other system but alpha centara then this is either an over enthusiasic response to uncertain data anomalies or an elaborate april fools day prank . ha ha , well done .

      Could a Kuiper Belt object of such a mass at such a distance be invisible to every amateur astronomer on the planet except for this group of Spanish scientists? If it does not shine, then what about Infrared photographs? Where is the corroborating evidence? Seems this discovery would make global headlines…unless it is unsubstantiated and fabricated.

      The Sumerians were told about it from the Annunaki. Time is cyclic, as the Mayans correctly understood it, just as they were taught by their “teachers”. Look up the Sumerian clay tablet that has the planets shown. There you will see this dwarf shown and it’s relevant size given. All of this the Sumerians knew thousands of years past. What happens next? Who alive really knows? I do know that there are gaps in our knowledge of our own history. It seems to repeat. Perhaps that time is almost upon us? Maybe this year, maybe twenty.

      From the article link: “How it was discovered… the controversy

      You might well ask why astronomers have never detected this object before. In fact they did. G1.9 was first identified as a “supernova remnant” in 1984 by Dave Green of the University of Cambridge and later studied in greater detail with NRAO’s Very Large Array radio telescope in 1985. Because it was unusually small for a supernova it was thought to be young — less than about 1000 years old.”

      This is old and still wrong. The brown dwarf in 25,000 light years away from us, not a mere 60 AU. It is nowhere near us.

      “Scientists at places like NASA and famous observatories” ..Famous, famous you see it’s credible story…lol

      Indeed, “scientists” said so.

      Its an odd article where the scientists making the claims are not named, and the people that are named are disputing the hypothesis. Science is a method. There is a theory, a test, replicate the test, publish it, peer review it. I’m sure if these “scientists” are making such claims the least we could do is name them, unless of course…it’s just regurgitated misinformation with no purpose other than fear based propaganda.

    • truthzilla

      It’s probably just swamp gas or a weather balloon. Everything is cool.

    • truthseeker

      I guess no one noticed the original article is from April 1st?

      Binary systems do rotate around each other I know this as fact(studied it last week) Attending school to become astrophysicist…in fact every system they have found that has binary stars(which is over 90% rotate around each other. Not saying conventional science is the answer to everything, because you get a lot of false statements from NASA and other top scientists. Our professor has open discussion once a day on falsely printed or stated “scientific facts”. It could not have reached it’s closest point if this is what it is. That’s just impossible. Our center is the point where they both began. They must meet at a point. It is what keeps the other one in orbit instead of floating off to space. To think we would be this grand exception is ridiculous, the same as thinking we are this grand exception to life on a planet. Get real! It’s time to use your common sense and a little science guys. It goes a long way!

      “This rogue object was there all the time. Right under our eyes. Since the days of Galileo we are aware of its existence. Initially it was mistaken for a star, and later for a solar system planet. It’s neither.

      We currently know Nibiru as Neptune, allegedly the ninth planet. It simply isn’t. You could call it the 8.5th planet: a massive object disguising itself as a planet in-between the 8th and 9th stable planetary orbits. Astronomers now refer to Neptune as a WIMP, a Wandering Immensely Massive Planetoid. WIMPs are dark objects that appear to be abundant in the universe and make up most of its mass. They wander from planetary system to planetary system, leaving a trail of havoc.

      Nibiru Cataclysm
      The breaking news is that our solar WIMP, aka Nibiru, aka Planet-X, aka Neptune, is behaving according to the Mayan and Nostradamian prophecies. It is leaving its unstable orbit and will soon be on its way to Earth. Large-scale computations by a NASA team headed by Dr. Nancy Lieder have revealed that this WIMP weighing in at 17 times Earth, will approach our planet at the end-date of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, December this year. The good news is: there will be no collision. ”
