Shooting Stars
In what sounds like a chilling script of a Hollywood science fiction, scientists have claimed that an invisible star, five times the size of Jupiter, might be lurking near our solar system, occasionally kicking deadly comets towards the Earth.
According to scientists, the brown dwarf star is up to five times the size of Jupiter and could be responsible for mass extinctions that occur on Earth every 26 million years.
They believe that the star nicknamed Nemesis or ‘The Death Star” could be hidden beyond the edge of our solar system and only emits infrared light.
It is believed to orbit our solar system at 25,000 times the distance of the Earth to the Sun, the scientists said.
A “chilling script of a Hollywood science fiction,”` eh? Clearly a job only Hollywood stars are capable of handling — paging Sean Penn! Yoo-hoo, George Clooney! Pick up the white phone, Susan Sarandon! Your rocket blasts off tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. We`ll radio with instructions once the screenwriters figure out what you should do.
Bon voyage!
