Is this Nibiru ?


The name is a reference to an earlier theory of solar systems structure that involved the sun having a dim companion named Nemesis as it was proposed as a cause for mass-extinctions on Earth. Tyche was the name of the sister of Nemesis

The title of your thread reads "Scientists believe they may have found a new planet in the far reaches of the solar system, up to four times the mass of badcompany" to me

So there's a planet the size of quite a fat guy in the out reaches of the solar systems?

Tyche may not only be disrupting the orbits of comets, it may also overturn an established scientific theory.

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.
