Previous theories proposed that PMOs could be failed stars or planets ejected from their solar systems. However, these models fail to explain the large number of PMOs, their frequent binary ...

The planets follow a visible path in the sky called ... T Coronae Borealis, a binary star system known as the “Blaze Star,” is expected to become visible to the naked eye after a nova explosion.
