Was going to use the following, but found a link to the CM article in his previous 'blog entry.

“Survey used a multiple-night detection scheme to extend our rate sensitivity to as low as 0.012 arcsec hr-1. When combined with our plate scale and flux sensitivity (V21), this survey was sensitive to Mars-sized objects out to 300 AU and Jupiter-sized planets out to 1200 AU... We found no large objects at low inclinations despite having sufficient sensitivity in both flux and rate to see them out as far as 1200 AU. For low inclinations, we can rule out more than one to two Pluto-sized objects out to 100 AU and one to two Mars-sized objects to 200 AU.”

Makes me wonder about Uranus!

[Rudder]

Because of the very cold temperature, its surface would be covered with ice, icy ammonia and methane

Hmmm. I don't see how lack of heat produces water, methane and ammonia.

With new, more advanced telescopes and new imaging satellites going up into space in the next 10-15 years, not only might we find an Earth-sized planet out in the Kuiper Belt, but possibly find a possible brown dwarf companion to our Sun.

But more exciting than these more "local" discoveries will be the possibility we may find rocky crust planets orbiting stars up to 250 light years away with an atmosphere of oxygen, nitrogen and water vapor--the first Earth-like planets outside our Solar System.

Maybe we can buy global warming credits from this place.

Could that be the origin of Farrakahn’s mother ship?

In Peter Thompkins book on the pyramids of Mexico, he says the complex is a model of the solar system with pyramids marking the location of the sun, moon earth and other planets.

There are ten planets so marked. The planet positions are scaled as I recall.

The old ones knew what we are now learning anew.

The book is Mysteries of the Mexican Pyramids.

Up to two-thirds the size of Earth is not “Earth-sized”

Predicted? Meaning they don’t really have any evidence
