Celestial body that is so large that it is comparable in size to Jupiter, and located so close to Earth that may be part of the solar system, discovered in the constellation Orion orbiting telescope aboard the U.S. for use in infrared mode.This place is so enigmatic that astronomers do not know whether this is a planet, a giant comet, the nearest "protostar" that never warmed up enough heat to become a star, distant galaxy, which is so young that she still is in the process forming the first stars or a galaxy, so hidden in the star dust that no light emitted by its stars, never go beyond it."All of what I can tell you right now, so this is what we do not know what it is," - said in an interview with Dr. Gerry Neugebauer, a leading academic expert on astronomical satellite infrared bands in the California lab rocket engines and Palomar Observatory Director at the California Institute of Technology.The most surprising explanation of this mysterious body, which is so cold that does not emit any light and is never seen through telescopes on Earth or in space, is that a giant gaseous planet of Jupiter-sized and located very close to Earth at a distance of 50 trillion. miles. While this may seem a little distance in terms of distances on Earth, but in terms of space is a stone's throw distance, ie so close that it is the nearest celestial body to Earth other than the outermost planet Pluto.
"If the planet is actually so close, it is part of our solar system" - said Dr. James Hook at Cornell University Centre of Radio Physics and Space Research, and who is a member of a group of scientists in astronomy satellite infrared ranges. "If it is so close, I do not know how the researchers classified the planets will be her."
The mysterious body seen twice by the infrared satellite during a scan of the northern hemisphere from January to November, when the satellite was over ultra-helium that allowed its telescope to observe the coldest body in space. The second observation took place six months after the first recorded, and presumably, a mysterious body is shifted from its place near the western edge of the constellation Orion.
Hook said of that "presumably, is not a comet because a comet would not be as big as what we saw, and a comet would probably have shifted. The planet may have moved and, if it was at 50 trillion miles away, but it could also be a more distant planet that has not shifted over the past six months. "
Hook says that whatever this was not a planet, a mysterious heavenly body is so cold that its temperature is not more than 40 degrees above "absolute" zero, equal to 456 degrees Fahrenheit below zero (-273 ° C). Telescope on board the Astronomical Satellite infrared rather cold, and he is so sensitive that can "see" objects in space, where the temperature only 20 degrees above absolute zero.
When scientists in astronomical satellite infrared bands for the first time discovered a mysterious body, and calculated that it can defend only 50 trillion. miles, it has been suggested that it could move the earth."This suggestion was not taken from incoming mail" - Neugebauer spoke. "I would like a sober assessment of this hypothesis."
But then what is it? If this object is the size of Jupiter and is so close to the sun, it is part of the solar system? It is likely that this is the 10th planet, which astronomers have searched to no avail. It may also be a star, similar to Jupiter, which started to become a star billions of years ago, but did not become hot enough to star.
Although scientists can not disprove this view, Neugebauer and Houck are confused by this idea that they do not want to take. Neugebauer and Houck "hope" that a mysterious cosmic object is a remote galaxy, or are so young that its stars have not yet begun to glow or are surrounded by dust so that the light of its stars can not penetrate the veil of dust.
"I think it's one of those dark, young galaxies that we could not see before," - said Neugebauer.
"If so, then it is a major step in our understanding of the size of the universe as the universe was created and how it continues to take shape," - he continues.
The next step in pinpointing the location of this mysterious celestial body according to Neugebauer is a search using the world's largest optical telescopes. Telescope with a diameter of 100 inches at the Cerro Tololo in Chile del already involved in the search for a celestial body, and a 200-inch telescope on Mount Palomar in California have already reserved the search for the body. If the body is close enough and emits very little light, a telescope in Palomar find this body, since the infrared satellite accurately locate it.
