They Found A New “Planetary System” In Our Own Galaxy

Wait what?

Astronomers really think they have figured things out, they find something extremely unusual.  If you have heard of brown dwarf stars or not, they pretty much straddle the line between stars and, at least in the way we are able to understand them.  And depending on who you ask, it is kind of like the deep dish Chicago style pizza vs. thin crust New York style debate 😉  They are not considered to be either however according to some folks:

There is a peculiar system 1,600 light-years from our solar system. It is composed of two brown dwarfs, massive objects too big to be planets and too small to fuse hydrogen and become stars. But that is not the strange part: Scientists have now discovered a Venus-sized planet around the smaller brown dwarf.

What do you think about them or do you have an opinion about this?

Let’s find out more on this mysterious planet on page 2

    I wish I went to school so I can do stuff like this. I have always been so interested in space I love learning more and more things about it.

    Misleading click bait. Of course there are other planetary systems in this galaxy. And certainly some involving Brown Dwarf stars. What would have been really cool is if they discovered that our sun is part of a binary star system with a brown dwarf companion. It would help to explain so much about our solar system.

    It appears as though Zecharia Sitchin is not a charlatan after all. To all who have hijacked his theories based on his “translation” of Sumerian clay tablets boom, mic drop!

    The plannt arodund one of the dwarf dow inhibbited critical mass to be reach and start stellar birth. These will imply that you do not need stellar birth to start plannetary birth.

    Was literally bout to say what Michael said. If it’s your dream, go for it. Only one life to live, make the most of it. Never settle

    It’s intriguing without a doubt. But I bet we meet one side or the other of the Lord’s judgment before we find out. Pre flood is meant to be just that, pre flood. If his story is indeed true I feel it’s an account of the corruption of ranks in the angel class we were to never know.

    I would like to say, if you want to write informative articles (especially scientific articles) proof reading and at least a basic understanding of the topic should be priorities. I’m pretty sure one sentence had 4 or 5 “and”s in there. xD

    All the planetary systems we’ve found have been in our galaxy. Do they mean in our solar system???

    Things that are obvious are not really “fascinating.”
    Of-fricking-course there will be planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and probably plastic floating around a brown dwarf!

    Lol, another good observation.
    Yes I agree, another dumb thing the author wrote though.
    If you read the article, it states the system is 1600 lys. away.

    Smh…I figured it was an error. While on topic though, we’ll be discovering so many more systems in the galaxy if they ever get that James Webb telescope up there. The area we’ve searched is extremely small when in comparison to the rest of the galaxy. Might even discover some new types of planets we’ve never seen before.

    I think Captain Obvious wrote this click bait. We’ve been finding other “planetary systems” for the last twenty years.

    Disagree entirely. Sitchin posited a 12th planet in a ~3600 year high eccentricity orbit, at a high inclination to the ecliptic plane. This body, which was approximated at 3.5 times Earth mass would pass through the inner solar system at perihelion. No such body has been discovered. Furthermore, gravitational perturbations of a body like this would have already been detected in trans-neptunian objects, minimally. N-body problem modeling shows that a planet of these dimensions, in this orbital path would have destabilized the inner solar system planetary orbits during its first pass. Point being, if it did exist, our solar system would not have stabilized into its current pattern. Discounting the potential “9th” planet data from last year, we have no evidence that the Nibiru of Sitchin legend exists.

    Light takes light-years to get to us, so when we see the light from light-years away, we are looking at the light… and even into the past.

    Get an education smdh @jason how embarrassing for America
