5-24-06 Far Out
Last month, this press release came out...
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-04/bri-emf042406.php
...regarding the discovery of a planet out beyond Pluto, which has been named "Sedna". Sedna is smaller than Pluto, and exhibits anomalous orbital behavior. "It shouldn't be there," commented one of the interviewees on this subject. In addition, there's yet another planet out beyond Pluto that was discovered earlier, this one larger than Pluto and named "Xena", which also exhibits anomalous orbital behavior.
In the linked story, a fellow named Walter Cruttenden is brought into the picture, since he wrote a book detailing the theory that our sun may have a "companion star", making our solar system a "binary system". He wrote a book about this, "Lost Star of Myth and Time", with a website here...

Interesting stuff, to be sure. I wonder sometimes just how far out future discoveries will take us.
