4. Q3 Id X
• X is a hypothetical red dwarf star or brown dwarf, originally
postulated in 1984 to be orbiting the Sun at a distance of
about 95,000 AU (1.5 light-years), somewhat beyond the
Oort cloud, to explain a perceived cycle of mass extinctions
in the geological record, which seem to occur more often at
intervals of 26 million years.
• Muller, referring to the date of a recent extinction at 11
million years before the present day, posits that X has a
semi-major axis of about 1.5 light-years (95,000 AU) and
suggests it is located (supported by Yarris, 1987) near
Hydra, based on a orbit derived from original apogees of a
number of atypical long-period comets that describe an
orbital arc meeting the specifications of Muller's
hypothesis. In 2002, Muller speculated that X was
perturbed 400 million years ago by a passing star from a
circular orbit into an orbit with an eccentricity of 0.7.

stopped on his way to fetch water for Apollo, in order
to eat figs. Instead of telling the truth to Apollo, he lied
and said that a snake, kept him from the water, while
holding a snake in his talons as proof. Apollo saw this
to be a lie, however, and flung the X’, Y, and the snake
into the sky. He further punished X by making sure that
it would forever be thirsty, both in real life and in the
heavens, where the Y is barely out of reach.
• Id the constellation X, it’s related real world object X’,

11. Q10
• In 2001, Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry determined
______________, but they soon corrected their analysis in
a 2002 paper. The survey included more than 200,000
entities. The technical code for X is #FFF8E7. The finding of
the ___________ was not the focus of the study, which was
examining spectral analysis of different galaxies to study
star formation. What the study revealed is that the
overwhelming majority of stars formed about 5 billion
years ago. Glazebrook's and Baldry's work was funded by
the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. X was displayed
in a Washington Post article. The name X was decided while
Peter Drum was sitting at Y.
