Up telescope!Search begins for giant new planet Tyche may be bigger than Jupiter and orbit at the outer edge of the solar system By Paul Rodgers Sunday, 02/13/11 If you grew up thinking there were nine planets and were shocked when Pluto was demoted five years ago, get ready for another surprise. There may be nine after all, and Jupiter may not be the largest. The hunt is on for a gas giant up to four times the mass of Jupiter thought to be lurking in the outer Oort Cloud, the most remote region of the solar system. The orbit of Tyche (pronounced ty-kee), would be 15,000 times farther from the Sun than the Earth's, and 375 times farther than Pluto's, which is why it hasn't been seen so far. But scientists now believe the proof of its existence has already been gathered by a Nasa space telescope, Wise, and is just waiting to be analysed. The first tranche of data is to be released in April, and astrophysicists John Matese and Daniel Whitmire from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette think it will reveal Tyche within two years. "If it does, John and I will be doing cartwheels," Professor Whitmire said. "And that's not easy at our age." Once Tyche has been located, other telescopes could be pointed at it to confirm the discovery. Whether it would become the new ninth planet would be decided by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The main argument against is that Tyche probably formed around another star and was later captured by the Sun's gravitational field. The IAU may choose to create a whole new category for Tyche, Professor Matese said. The IAU would also have the final say about the gas giant's name. To the Greeks, Tyche was the goddess responsible for the destiny of cities. Her name was provisionally chosen in reference to an earlier hypothesis, now largely abandoned, that the Sun might be part of a binary star system with a dim companion, tentatively called Nemesis, that was thought responsible for mass extinctions on Earth. In myth, Tyche was the good sister of Nemesis. Tyche will almost certainly be made up mostly of hydrogen and helium and will probably have an atmosphere much like Jupiter's, with colourful spots and bands and clouds, Professor Whitmire said. "You'd also expect it to have moons. All the outer planets have them," he added. What will make it stand out in the Wise data is its temperature, predicted to be around -73C, four or five times warmer than Pluto. "The heat is left over from its formation," Professor Whitmire said. "It takes an object this size a long time to cool off." Most of the billions of objects in the Oort Cloud – a sphere one light year in radius stretching a quarter of the distance to Alpha Centauri, the brightest star in the southern constellation – are lumps of dirty ice at temperatures much closer to absolute zero (-273C). A few of these are dislodged from their orbits by the galactic tide – the combined gravitational pull from the billions of stars towards the centre of the Milky Way – and start the long fall into the inner solar system. As these long-period comets get closer to the Sun, some of the ice boils off, forming the characteristic tails that make them visible. Professors Matese and Whitmire first proposed the existence of Tyche to explain why many of these long-period comets were coming from the wrong direction. In their latest paper, published in the February issue of Icarus, the international journal of solar system studies, they report that more than 20 per cent too many of the long-period comets observed since 1898 arrive from a band circling the sky at a higher angle than predicted by the galactic-tide theory. No other proposal has been put forward to explain this anomaly since it was first suggested 12 years ago. But the Tyche hypothesis does have one flaw. Conventional theory holds that the gas giant should also dislodge comets from the inner Oort Cloud, but these have not been observed. Professor Matese suggests this may be because these comets have already been tugged out of their orbits and, after several passes through the inner solar system, have faded to the point that they are much harder to detect. So if it is real, Tyche may not only be disrupting the orbits of comets, it may also overturn an established scientific theory.

Funny how it's just the size that Zetatalk described it as.

Doomsday & Brown Dwarf StarDate: 02-21-11 Host: George Noory Guests: LUCUS --, Cheryl Harness In the middle two hours, researcher of ancient mysteries and how they relate to geological and astronomical cycles, LUCUS, discussed his contention that a brown dwarf star will decimate Earth. Orbiting in our solar system, its inbound passage every 3,600 years, causes Earth's magnetic field to fall, and sends civilizations back to the hunter/gatherer state, he outlined. In a binary system with our sun, the brown dwarf star is dark and impossible to see from a distance, yet as it draws closer, it will likely appear the same size as the sun, though as a big black circle in the sky, he continued. The dwarf star will emit a lot of radiation, as well as gravitational pull that will cause massive earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and climate extremes, he warned, adding that an example of the coming change was the sun rising two days early in Greenland this year. LUCUS believes that the "powers that be" are aware of the coming dwarf star and have already made survival preparations including an underground facility at the Denver Airport. They have also authorized the spraying of chemtrails which contain barium-- this absorbs and reduces the effects of radiation, he pointed out. LUCUS spoke about the how the Yellowstone super caldera is increasing in activity but seismic data is being deleted or suppressed from the public. If the caldera blows, the catastrophic effects include deadly glass particles sent into the atmosphere that people and animals would breathe in. He also noted that the San Bruno gas explosion happened at the same time as a fireball in the sky, and may have been sparked by an asteroid. Here's part one of last night's interview: And here's part one of a video presentation that Lucas gave in January 2010. And don't forget about this one.

"the catastrophic effects include deadly glass particles sent into the atmosphere that people and animals would breathe in."
So maybe 'Steven Christ' was onto something when he talked about a glass ceiling in the atmosphere.

From CNN... You know how you sometimes can sense that something is present even though you can't see it? Well, astronomers are getting that feeling about a giant, hidden object in space. And when we say giant, we mean GIANT. Evidence is mounting that either a brown dwarf star or a gas giant planet is lurking at the outermost reaches of our solar system, far beyond Pluto. The theoretical object, dubbed Tyche, is estimated to be four times the size of Jupiter and 15,000 times farther from the sun than Earth, according to a story in the British paper The Independent. Astrophysicists John Matese and Daniel Whitmire from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette think data from NASA's infrared space telescope WISE will confirm Tyche's existence and location within two years. The presence of such a massive object in the solar system's far-flung Oort Cloud could explain a barrage of comets from an unexpected direction, according to a December article at Space.com. Its 27 million-year orbit could also explain a pattern of mass extinctions on Earth, scientists say. Brown dwarfs are cold "failed" stars; their dimness and lack of heat radiation can make them hard to detect. Gas giants are huge planets – like Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune – that are made up of gases and may lack a solid surface like Earth's. Whitmire told The Independent that Tyche will probably be composed of hydrogen and helium and have colorful spots, bands and clouds like Jupiter. "You'd also expect it to have moons," he said. "All the outer planets have them." Tyche was first hypothesized in 1984 as Nemesis, a dark companion star to the sun. It's been the subject of astronomical research and debate ever since. In July, another Space.com article said the celestial evidence suggests Tyche could not possibly exist. To distinguish it from the Nemesis star theory, Matese and Whitmire are calling their object Tyche, after the good sister of the goddess Nemesis in Greek mythology. Their research is published in Icarus, the International Journal of Solar System Studies.

This video - although a bit lengthy, and a bit doomy & gloomy - lays out the approach of ELEnin quite well. I recommend it highly. Beware the Ides of March and an October surprise! And at the end, he quite rightly points out that the blue meanies will be out in force AFTER the passage. You need not buy into the negative aspects.

from Zeta Talk:www.zetatalk.com/ning/05mr2011.htm"We are often asked how the cover-up will break, as it is at present a standoff, at least by the great powers who dominate the scene. The US, having been at the helm of all decisions over revealing either the alien presence or the approach of Planet X, is most reluctant for the cover-up to break. There is intense reluctance by so many participants, that any move to reveal the truth to the public is sabotaged. Assassinations occur, and increasingly savage threats are made. Outside of the US, the urge to tell the truth has resulted in many countries finding a way to have the discussion before their public. This incident in Taiwan is one such incident. This is a monster sun, one of many personas that Planet X presents. Taiwan presented the evidence, stated what many on the Internet are saying, then gave a reassurance and an official explanation for the phenomena under discussion. They have, in short order, just informed the public that Planet X, aka Nibiru, is indeed in the skies, near the Sun, and the prophesied cataclysms are not without basis. They have even given the public search engine words to use in order to hone in on the subject, and learn more! Who in the public would believe the excuse given, that the Sun has been reflected off a cloud bank! Those giving the excuse cannot come up with an example, ever, from the past! Because the media presented this as a debate, with both sides commenting, they cannot be accused of breaking the cover-up. S Korean TV did something similar recently. The final product presented Nancy's evidence, then juxtaposition NASA refuting it all, and then let Nancy have the final word. NASA's arguments were then seen for what they are - inadequate. Will this media technique become popular, and used elsewhere? This and other such techniques are likely to be used, as the evidence becomes so much more compelling, the Earth changes in the news, and the public demanding an explanation."

2 SUNS - Nibiru? - Recorded in Puerto Rico 3-5-2011 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1297-dElXlA" After watching several videos on youtube about the 2 suns video on china I went out and recorded the sun, since the brightness is too much for the mytouch 4g cam I tried recording the sun on the swiming pool, I was shocked! if you can do the same do it and upload it you will believe.
Despues de ver varios videos en Youtube sobre los 2 soles en china, decidi salir y grabarlo por mi mismo, como la intensidad del sol es demasiado para la camara de mi mytouch 4g trate grabarlo directo del reflejo de la piscina, me queda en shock una vez vi el segundo sol.."

Millions of Dead Fish Wash Up in Redondo BeachVideo at the link. REDONDO BEACH (KTLA) -- Millions of dead fish have washed up in King Harbor near Redondo Beach, and officials are now trying to figure out why. The dead fish, including anchovies, sardines and mackerel, are apparently floating up to the surface from the ocean floor. KTLA's Sky5 captured images of the fish completely coating the water's surface in Basins 1 and 2 of the north side of King Harbor. Fish and game officials have not released a statement about what might have killed the fish. Officials were at the harbor investigating. There are reports that a red tide may have driven large numbers of the fish into the harbor, where they were killed by a lack of oxygen.

There are reports that a red tide may have driven large numbers of the fish into the harbor, where they were killed by a lack of oxygen. The Latest Mass Fish Death Takes Place in Australia from "Low Oxygen"Wednesday, March 09, 2011 5:01 EXPERTS say that record temperatures and low oxygen levels are to blame for dead fish being washed up on riverbanks and beaches across WA. Dead fish, eels and crayfish have been found on shores with the coastline of Green Head, some 290km north of Perth, being covered in washed up carcasses. Green Head resident Rod Wilson said: "It's very heartbreaking. I've been here for 28 years and I've never seen anything like it. To us it's a local ecological disaster." Reports state that in a clean up operation at Green Head, 20km north of Jurien Bay, more than 15000 dead fish were collected. "Our biggest concern is how long is this going to take to right itself," Mr Wilson added. With rotting fish carcasses washing up for more than a week, local residents are being urged to stay out of the water for fears of harmful bacteria. Experts say WA's coastal waters have seen the highest rise in temperature in the world with up to 4C rise than normally seen this summer. Dr Brian Jones from the Department of Fisheries said: "Anybody who as sat in Perth for the last few months without air conditioning knows what heat does. "Fish are the same. They are cold blooded so they feel the heat." It follows a similar case in the US where millions of dead anchovies were found floating in a Los Angeles marina.

Powerful earthquake, tsunami strike Japan; substantial damage feared
By Chico Harlan Washington Post Foreign Service Friday, March 11, 2011; 4:23 AM HIROSHIMA - A massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake and several powerful aftershocks struck the eastern coast of Japan on Friday afternoon, triggering tsunamis that devastated the coastline north of Tokyo.
The government is anticipating substantial damage, with the first reports of casualties coming hours after the earthquake. Japanese broadcaster NHK so far has reported eight deaths, but officials fear that number will rise.
Television stations showed footage of tsunami waves, measuring upwards of 30 feet, that surged toward the northeastern shoreline, pulling cars into the water and knocking boats and buildings onto their sides. Tsunami warnings or alerts were issued for at least a dozen other countries. In some areas the wall of water looked more like a black shroud of debris and sludge, consuming the patchwork of farmland.
The first earthquake struck at 2:46 p.m. local time, causing buildings to sway in Tokyo for several minutes. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the largest initial earthquake struck at a depth of about six miles, about 80 miles off the coast, east of Miyagi Prefecture on Japan's largest island of Honshu.
Even in Tokyo, about 230 miles south of the epicenter, rail lines were halted and business workers headed outdoors, terrified by the aftershocks that continued hours after the first quake. Communication lines were largely downed.
Panic about potential aftershocks kept many people from returning indoors. Many office workers were stranded for the evening, unable to find a taxi or use the normally clockwork-perfect transportation system. One government official said train service could be stalled for days.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano, the government's top spokesman, said that Japan's Self-Defense Force had been dispatched to Miyagi Prefecture.
Throughout northern Japan, there were reports of fallen buildings and people buried beneath them. In industrial Chiba Prefecture, a fire blazed at an oil refinery. Japanese media reported at least 36 fires throughout the country.
The Japanese Meteorological Agency has issued a tsunami warming for the country's entire Pacific coast. Three hours after the earthquake hit Japan, sirens in Hawaii warned of a tsunami. Tsunami warnings have also been issued for the Philippines, Indonesia, Russia and Guam, among others.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan addressed the nation, saying the government will do "everything possible to minimize the damage."
"We ask the people of Japan to exercise the spirit of fraternity and ask fast and to assist one's family and neighbors," Kan said. He urged people to watch the television reports and stay calm, evacuating areas if necessary.
Japan called for international assistance, and Kan said that Japan has set up an emergency response headquarters.
The country's nuclear power plants automatically shut down at the time of the earthquake, and Kan said there was no evidence of leaked radioactive material.
Earthquake-prone Japan has invested millions to fortify its coastal cities against earthquake-triggered tsunamis. Tokyo has a system of flood gates to divert the walls of water that come in a tsunami. But NHK showed footage of devastating tsunamis in the north, as water first receded and then crashed forward, moving faster than anybody who tried to outrun or outdrive it. In Sendai, the airport was underwater, and employees and passengers crowded on the building's roof.
According to initial reports, this was the seventh-largest earthquake in recorded history. The earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010, killing more than 300,000 was a 7.0 magnitude. The earthquake that struck Christchurch, New Zealand, last month was a 6.3-magnitude quake.
The U.S. Geological Survey has so far detected 17 aftershocks since the initial 8.9 magnitude quake, including a 6.4, a 6.8 and a 7.1. In the days before this earthquake, Japan had experienced a series of smaller tremors.
