The sun is a second generation star. Meaning that there was a star that went before it. The star that went before the solar system went supernova and deposited all the elements that make up the planets. I believe it was the kind of supernova that left a neutron star; a dead star core behind. Astronomers call this Nemesis. But what happened to Nemesis? If it left the vicinity it might still be close by. I predict that a new investigation into our sun's dark companion will take place. That it exists is nearly certain in my opinion. Where it went if anywhere is the question. If this neutron star has been cooling for 4.5 billion years it should be entirely dark. It might have swept up most of the debris in its orbit. Its orbit is considered 26 milllion years. The evidence of Nemesis that we have now may be the gravitational disturbance that the outer planets experience. It might not be a 10th planet. It might be Nemesis. To detect it we ought to be waiting for the next Gamma Ray Burst that comes from it.

The companion prediction that goes with this post is named: Nexus.
It should have been Nemesis.
