There seem to be much speculation about this object, what it is and where exactly it is and all that.

Original paper for those interested:

They conclude that it's either an extreme trans-neptunian object, a super-terrestrial planet or a very cool brown dwarf.
OA Wish list:
  1. DNI
  2. Internal medical system
  3. A dormbot, because domestic chores suck!

Shall we wait until they figure out which before we write about its settlement? Smile

Might be best to give it a bit more time.

The curious fact is that this object has been discovered very near in the sky to where Alpha Centauri is, which seems like too much of a coincidence.

I suspect it is an imaging artifact of some sort, or maybe an artificial artifact on its way between the two systems (a beamrider?) (unlikely) but not a random planet in our system.
