Is this another HumorMillNuz?
I am speechless!
Let's think about the SIZE of that "thing". Something THAT big would be causing havoc with the Solar System. And by havoc I mean not just affecting weather patterns on Earth, or causing earthquakes and tremors, but dragging planets seriously out of their orbits. Not only that but the Sun would be affected.
We have three possibilities;
1. that "thing" is further away from the Earth than the Sun.
Then it is bigger, MUCH bigger, over twice the diameter of the Sun. Something that big would be pulling at the Sun, causing serious flaring, possibly affecting its position, which in turn would alter planetary orbits and change sunrise and sunset times. The little moon to the SE as we look at it, should be shining because the Sun would be illuminating it, as we see Mars, Jupiter etc unless that moons surface absorbs all light. The little moon appears black.
2. that "thing" is the same distance from the Earth as the Sun.
Then it has approximately the same diameter as the Sun. The same arguments apply as in 1 above. The Moon may or may not be illuminated by the Sun, depending on exactly where it is. It is so close to the Sun then sunrise/sunset times should be way out, and the "thing" on fire.
3. that "thing" is closer to Earth than the Sun.
Then why does its surface appear light grey, when the sun is behind it? Where is the light coming from? Shouldn't the surface be almost black? If this "thing" is closer to us then that would explain why the little moon is black, as it would be in the shadow of the "thing".
Anyway, it is such a massive body the Solar System would be going mental, or everyone would have seen it.
Any outside confirmation?
Have you checked out the planetary orbits?
Have you checked out sunrise and sunset times?
Posted this anywhere else?
I AM NOT CONVINCED ONE LITTLE BIT.
