Is NASA Tracking The Cosmic Shift?

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012.

by Zen Gardner

When it comes to terraforming, the Universe makes man’s puny efforts to be king of the hill look pretty pathetic. Not only are we completely at the mercy of a constantly changing planet, but we’re careening through space totally vulnerable to a sea of objects and cosmic influences beyond our wildest imagination.

Yet intuitively we have the peace that all is under control in some magnificent way.

The decades long assertion that our solar system would soon enter an electrically charged life altering photon belt around the Sirius star system has been regularly dismissed as pseudo science–NASA speak for “conspiracy theory”. Despite periodical scientific validation it has been continually pushed aside by mainstream science.

Until now.

J.J., I have heard about a whole lot of myths, legends and a lot of other hoaky stuff bu, this is the 1st time I heard about this thing, so I had to kind of look it up. It is true that the Earth and it's inhabitants are in a cosmic shooting gallery but I am not going to worry about this idea. As an example: about a million Neutrinos a second bombard our tongues but we don't taste a thing and it does no harm. In 3+ billion years of history, our world has seen almost every event in history but it is still here. We won't go any where near Sirius A or Sirius B. The Pleides are actually groups of star clusters, they are not single stars. Each cluster may contain hundreds or thousands of stars and we are going nowhere near thos clusters (figure a whole bunch of light years away). One truth I can tell you is that our Milky Way galaxy is on a collision course with the Andromeda galaxy but that won't occur for another 4 to 8 billion years from now (I don't think any of us will be around to witness that event).
The world always had and will have prophets of doom but I prefer the word of Jesus who said (even the Angels in Heaven don' know when the end of the World will occur) so, beware of predictions. BTW, a popular theory is that the Moon was created after Earth collided with a Mars sized object in Earths formative phase.
I guess the doom prophesy of 2012 will occur because of the supposed "Mayan Calander". Jeez! are there any ancient or new Mayans around to tell us what all those heiroglyphs mean and how to read them?
No J.J.
, I wouldn't lose any sleep or worry about what might occur in the near future.

What the Oort is this all about !!!

We may have lost Pluto, but it looks like we might be getting Tyche.

Scientists may soon be able to prove the existence of the gas giant, which could be four times the size of Jupiter, according to astrophysicists John Matese and Daniel Whitmire from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The two first proposed Tyche's existence in order to explain a change in path of comets entering the solar system, according to The Independent.

From the The Independent:

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.

So how could we have missed such a massive planet in our own solar system?

Well, it's 15,000 times further from the sun than Earth, according to Gizmodo. Tyche (if it does exist) lies in the Oort cloud, the outer shell of asteroids in our solar system.

Despite what the scientists believe they will find in the data (which will be released in April and was collected by NASA Wise space telescope), there is at least one flaw in their theory. Theoretically, a planet of Tyche's size should seriously disturb comets in the inner Oort Cloud, but that effect is yet to have been observed, according to The Independent.

But even if it does exist, it still may not be deemed a planet.

From Gizmodo:

If its existence is finally confirmed, its Solar System planet status may not be guaranteed. The reason: Astronomers theorize that Tyche could be a planet born in another star system and captured by ours.

The current name (which may change) is derived from the name of a Greek goddess that "governed the destiny of a city," according to the Mail.

If we've missed a planet in our own solar system for this long, what else are we missing?
