Since 1984, a controversial topic called “The Nemesis Stellar Hypothesis” has been discussed among native astronomers. In summary, The Sun is thought to have a companion star in the form of a brown dwarf orbiting in a period of about 26 million years and about 1.5 light years away. The scientific evidence for this hypothesis is tenuous at best.
The origin of our solar system (as presented in TUB) has always intrigued me since I first began studying The Urantia Book in 2002. However, given everything discussed in paper 57 The Origin of Urantia, especially part five The Origin of Monmatia:
57:5.4 (655.9)
4,500,000,000 years ago the enormous Angona system
began its approach to the neighborhood of this solitary sun. The center of
this great system was a dark giant of space, solid, highly charged, and
possessing tremendous gravity pull.
57:5.7 (656.3)
This great column of solar gases which was thus separated
from the sun subsequently evolved into the twelve planets of the solar
system. The repercussional ejection of gas from the opposite side of the sun
in tidal sympathy with the extrusion of this gigantic solar system ancestor,
has since condensed into the meteors and space dust of the solar system,
although much, very much, of this matter was subsequently recaptured by
solar gravity as the Angona system receded into remote space.
I think this part about “Angona receding into remote space” bears consideration in relation to “The Nemesis Stellar Hypothesis.” An on-line dictionary defines “receded” as: [go or move back or further away from a previous position.] To my way of thinking, this doesn’t necessarily mean Angona is gone. Two core terms of native astronomy are Orbital Mechanics and Angular Momentum. The Life Carrier (a Celestial Being of The Nebadon Suite of The Fourth Floor of The Orvonton Hotel) who purportedly authored paper 57 doesn’t explicitly state how massive Angona was or is in relation to the Sun, only that it possessed tremendous gravity pull. It is stated the Sun captured three planets of the Angona system. Due to the nature of orbital mechanics and (conservation of) angular momentum, I think it is possible that Angona captured the entire Monmatia System and both have been orbiting each other at some distance ever since! What do you think?
