Nemesis Canvas

In the 1980s scientists noticed an apparent regular cycle in mass extinctions on earth and speculated that there is distant companion star to the sun, a small 'brown dwarf'. This would disturb the distant Oort cloud of comets at regular intervals. Some would be disturbed from their billion-year orbits and fall into the inner solar system towards, earth, possibly impacting with catastrophic results for life.

 The object was named 'Nemesis' but despite searches by astronomers it has never been detected. Nevertheless, the picture depicts an encounter between Nemesis and a comet about 65 million years ago. The comet is broken up and deflected into a course towards the distant inner solar system. In about 100,000 years it will impact the earth and bring the reign of the dinosaurs to an abrupt end.
