Astronomers have encountered two puzzling new objects with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).
The first was sighted in the Alpha-Centauri-System,
but evidence states it is not part of it:
Source arxiv.org
Ther were unknown until now. (but predicted if i may add LINK 1)
Like always, when it's the real thing, those informations are encrypted in scientific papers, so the GDP won't be aware of it.
This time to, my surprise, FORBES posted it.
Astronomers Find New Object, Possible Super-Earth In Our Solar System
At least one of them.
For possible explanations the Astronomers mention:
-a dwarf planet with a distance of less than 100 AU from the sun with the size aprox. 1000 km (divide by 1.6 if you want the miles) like the TNO (Trans-Neptunian Object) SEDNA.
- a Super-Earth about 300 AU of distance.
- a brown dwarf at a distance of about 20000 AU as a stellar companion to our sun.
The second one, also discovered and not really mentioned for GDP awareness is the following:
OBJECT „Gna“
Source arxiv.org
It's moving fast and it is a single object.
Distance is about 12-25 AU
Size 220-880 Kilometers (divide by 1.6 for miles)
That would fall into the TNO as well.
But same story as before:
- It could be planet size (whatever that means for them, i guess they try to say earth size) but this means it is about 4000 AU away and not gravitationally bound.
- OR it could be away 0.3 parsec (roughly a light year) and a variable star.
There is no malfunction in the telescope, guaranteed.
