Our space buddies in Spain have found our system is binary and the Brown Dwarf is now in the Sagitario Pluto area. From Pluto to Jupiter many meteoroids have hit the outer planets as it moves out of the Orht Cloud into our system.

Funny the guys from Spain are openly asking NASA why they have been so hush hush or missed it with all of their infrared telescopes.... some in multiple postions near the arctic where they would have been able to detect it years ago.... NEVER A STRAIGHT ANSWER

What is it with some people... they want thier thinking done for them... they also want their ass hairs combed for them too. I gave you enough info you can plug into any search engine and see for yourself. You should become familiar with the saying...

I can be observed right now. Look towards Pluto or Sagitario, it is now causing meteoroid to hit Pluto and the outer planets including Jupiter as it makes its way closer. But you need a infrared lense to see it.

I do not have an infrared lens attachment right now. But do you have any co-ordinates? Even an indicative one will do. Maybe people who have quick access to the right equipment can pin point the approaching star system

There was an austrailian news paper that printed the cordinates along with all other relavent data including tradjectories of meteoroids, which was then forwarded to NASA...mind you they found this in July and have not recieved an answer from NASA. Do a seach and you should find the news paper... I cant recall the name of it right now. There is another version of the transcript but unless you read Spainish I suggest finding the translated austrailian version of the transcript.

uh ever heard of a comet?
halle-bop has a 4000 year eliptical orbit.
halley has a 76 year orbit.

not all orbits are circular with the sun in the middle.

you silly billy.

actually it does orbit backwards.
the term is "retrograde" orbit.
