“That dirty lousy Oort Cloud. I hate it.” – Mason Dash, operator of Kite

Keeping earth orbit clean is (will be) Mason Dash’s job. So of course he wouldn’t be too keen on some invisible brown dwarf 25,00o AUs out, dislodging comets from the Oort Cloud. Could be. Sounds like an Invisible Sun to me, though, as predicted by The Police.

Hey, and can we get some “closure” on the dinosaurs, please?  They’re gone, okay? Why they’re gone is a matter of some interest, but does it have to come up in every story about asteroids or comets?

An invisible sun isn’t interesting enough?

  As far as the end of the Dinosaurs is concerned; they are still around. Chickens and Alligators are both tasty remnants of that ancient time.

  I wonder how much clearer our telescope imagery would be with out the Oort Cloud?
