On 16th October 2009 the latest findings about the Heliopause
interactions were published in the journal Science. This image,
released by the Southwest Research Institute, shows the extent of
interaction of SOMETHING with the Heliopause. The image is absolutely
incredible, and the anomalous data was so unexpected that the
scientists working on the IBEX project initially thought the data was
incorrect. But after verification, they were left with the grim task
of trying to explain an anomaly that extends across a substantial part
of the sky between the Voyager 1 and 2 probes.

David McComas [IBEX principal investigator at the Southwest Research
Institute] said when he first saw the IBEX results he thought,
"'Something's wrong'...It was quite a long time before we convinced
ourselves that we were right," he said. "[The ribbon is] aligned by
and dominated by the external magnetic field. That's a huge clue as
to what's going on. But still we're missing some really fundamental
aspect of the interaction - some fundamental physics is missing from
our understanding." (1)

NASA scientists are trying to grapple with how such an evidently
strongly local interaction could be caused by the galactic fields
interacting with the heliosheath (5). Frankly, I don't think this is
the approach they should be taking at all. The ribbon is running
perpendicular to the galactic field, rather than in line with it.
Apart from that, this interaction is simply too extreme, and was not
predicted by theoretical models.

Without the presence of a Dark Star there simply is no way to explain
this emission of anomalous neutral particles from the Heliopause. It
is the simplest and best explanation in town. I am confident that
this new data is extremely strong evidence for the existence of a sub-
brown dwarf beyond the Heliopause in this region of the sky. This
kind of scientific result is exactly the kind of evidence I have been
predicting since my book 'The Dark Star' was released in 2005.

The Dark Star is located beyond the heliopause, in the direction of
the centre of this ribbon. I think this large interaction is the Dark
Star's extensive magnetic field, and associated particle bombardment,
interacting with the Sun's Heliosheath boundary.  The Dark Star's
lateral movement is very slow, so this does not indicate movement, but
more like an aurora effect, like you would see when looking at the
Northern Lights.
