A new
study has found that an object in the constellation Pisces which was thought to
be the one of the closest brown dwarfs to our own Sun is more like a planet
than a star. Scientists
have reclassified what they previously thought was one of the closest
brown dwarfs to our own Solar System as a giant planet-like object. Scientists
studying J013656.5+093347, also known as SIMP1036, found that it has a mass
12.7 times that of Jupiter and is a planet within a 200-million-year-old group
of stars called Carina Near. https://sptnkne.ws/evkx
A team led by Carnegie’s Jonathan Gagné carried out the new
study. Their results [1] were published by The
Astrophysical Journal Letters on May 3 exactly on the day Mercury [24ar15]
turned direct. Mercury was approaching a conjunction to Uranus [25ar33] and
both were trine to Saturn [27sa11] at the Galactic Centre [27sa06].
When Mercury stations direct, astrologers have noted [2]
that quite often people change their minds about previous ideas. Uranus (Ancient Greek Οὐρανός,
Ouranos [oːranós] meaning "sky" or "heaven") was the primal
Greek god personifying the sky so astronomers are changing their minds about a
sky object. Strangely the ecliptic position
of SIMP1036 is 25 Aries aligned
with the Mercury-Uranus conjunction degree!
In addition about the Galactic Centre, Philip Sedgwick
writes [3]:
Every now and then a
review of what is known, serves the Z personality. The first step consists of
reviewing information to observe what knowledge became superseded by new
information. Should the new information nullify the old thinking, then delete
all obsolete ideas.
Nice post.
