This huge objec, if exist, is a Dark star, a Brown Dwarf.
No, it isn't. We've already confirmed many extra-solar planets with mass greater than 5X Jupiter. They are nowhere near the minimal mass required in the definition of a brown dwarf or "dark" star.
This entire thread is based on a new report on old speculation, nothing more.
They cannot (and do not) even state that the probability of this object's existence IS greater than ZERO!
Might as well talk of some of the other "possibilities:" fairies, dragons and a big shoe.
You are giving ATS a bad name with pure speculation; this is the equivalent of tabloid journalism. Is that what the members want ATS to become?

As a member what I don’t want is an arrogant self centered loud mouth running around insulting members for providing information that some of us find interesting. Why don’t you quit trying to police the content of this site and leave it to the mods!!??
Your the one giving ATS a bad name!

The object that hit Jupiter was a comet that left an earth sized scar. It's impossible to have a Jupiter sized object in the inner solar system. Observation of the known planets excludes planet sized object far outside the orbits of the known planets.
Most cometary nuclei are thought to be no more than about 10 miles (16 kilometers) across.[2] But we do know of cometary nuclei up to 40km across.

Yeah, how dare he tell that other person he was wrong.

Size is often used interchangeably with mass here at ATS. The comet was not Jupiter sized (as in diameter). The object was small.
New NASA Images Indicate Object Hits Jupiter
The dimensions of the coma state little about the dimensions of the comet's nucleus. The nucleus is in the range of miles across for a large comet.
Comet nucleus - wikipedia

Be realistic, he didn’t say “he was wrong” he said “You are giving ATS a bad name with pure speculation; this is the equivalent of tabloid journalism. Is that what the members want ATS to become?” I believe that’s a little different.
The Ops thread was titled Persistent Evidence of a Jovian Mass Solar Companion in the Oort Cloud. That means the “scientist”, the ones who did the research; think that there is “persistent” evidence of a Jovian Mass Solar Companion in the Oort Cloud.

This theory has nothing whatsoever to do with Nibiru. If the Sun does have a Jupiter mass companion orbiting at the distance of the Inner Oort Cloud, then it sure as hell doesn't come anywhere near the realm of the major planets.
