John Matese and Daniel Whitmire have proposed that a body called Tyche may be found in this region.
In 1996, an especially bright object from this region was observed by and named after amateur astronomer Yuji Hyakutake. John Matese and Daniel Whitmire have proposed that a body called Tyche may be found in this region. A series of extinction events roughly every 26 million years led Richard Muller to speculate that a dwarf star called Nemesis occasionally travels through this region. A similar object named for Hills lies in this region, which is sometimes co-named for Ernst Opik and lies outside the Kuiper belt. For 10 points, name this region that stretches nearly a lightyear out from the Sun, and from which long-period comets are thought to originate.
