OHM Nemesis

This adds the hypothetical (but probably doesn't exist) brown/red dwarf Nemesis.

It has a semi-major axis of ~35000 au, so some of you *might* experience some... problems.

It works fine for me though.

You're on a roll, mate!

Thanks! I'm working on a terraformed Moon now...

Sounds like your having fun! This reminds me of when i made my first planet. It was a really hot jovian. I wonder if i still have it floating around on my computer.:hmm:

 

[IgnoreThisBarrel]

Making single planets is always very fun!

Maybe I'll make a system that way... One planet/moon every day or so until I have a complete system...

Anyone up for a swim at Brighton Beach?

This adds the hypothetical (not yet disproven) brown/red dwarf Nemesis.

So we should assume it exists until that gets disproven? Who are you kidding?

I never said that. I was simply stating that it isn't yet disproven.

Are you saying we should jump to conclusions? Who are you kidding...

As for the terraformed moon, the funny thing is... Brighton Beach is actually on a beach!

Ah, I can see why you might have thought that. I only put "not yet disproven" because on my other "hypothetical solar system bodies" addons I had put in parantheses their current status (disproven).

There might be an invisible pink teapot orbiting the Sun between Earth and Mars. Because we haven't yet disproven it, we have a reason to believe in it.

Yep, makes sense...


For the record, the orbit of Earth around the Sun is known to about 1 m, that includes the orbiting of the Sun around the solar system's barycenter. If there was a brown dwarf orbiting the Sun, with at least 13 times the mass of Jupiter, the gravitational influence would be well enough for the solar system's barycenter to shift. In fact, it would put the barycenter at 430 AU outside of the center of the Sun, where at most, with the combined influence of Jupiter and Saturn, it gets 2 solar diameters out.

How can it be both pink, and invisible?

Ask the Probe, as such wisdom is beyond me.

It's infra-pink!

I just launched a Deltaglider with unlimited fuel to it (just pointed towards it and burned). It took me nearly a year to get to reach 300,000 km/s. At 400,000 km/s I reached my periapsis 150 AU above Nemesis. It was still invisible at that distance. Then I put it into orbit with scenario editor. At that distance from sun I saw the numbers in Orbit MFD behaving a bit strange. Docking must be fun!
Great add-on.

Well I never said Nemesis existed. In fact, I think it doesn't exist. As I previously stated the only reason I put "hypothetical (not yet disproven)" is because on Crateris and Vulcan I put "hypothetical (disproven)".

Planet X marks the spot...

Hey atleast planet x has 0 possibility of existing(A gas giant passing twice as far as the moon is from earth to the earth every 3600 years? WE WOULD BE A MOON!:lol

The point I'm trying to make is that there's nothing to disprove.
The default position is that the star doesn't exist. If it does, then you can prove it's existence by discovering it. You can't go out assuming things are true and need to be disproved, just because you saw it in some documentary or read about it in a book.

Moreover, I have to say I doubt the stability of such a system. In the course of millions of years, other stars in the Milky Way fly near the Sun. Those could easily disrupt the system...

But Sitchin says it's true, so it must be true!

Planet MMXII is more like it

That's what I was saying the entire time. It hasn't been proven.

Maybe if you'd read his post, you'd notice that the argument you think exists doesn't exist.
