Toledo astronomer links Nemesis theory to data on comets
University of Toledo astrophysicist Armand Delsomme and doctoral candidate Boonucksar Soonthornthum report observable clues supporting Nemesis, a suspected solar companion. Analyzing 126 comet orbits, they note distortions suggesting periodic passages through the Oort Cloud, potentially sending comets toward Earth and shaping mass extinctions. The duo propose Nemesis could be a faint object, possibly a large planet near Draco, awaiting targeted sky searches.

Oil prices likely to keep falling says Salomon Brothers study
An Associated Press report notes Salomon Brothers analysts Graham Bishop and Paul Mlotek warn OPEC’s financial distress among weaker members will heighten price declines. Crude futures slid 5 to 13 cents on the NYMEX with February at 25.31, while U.S. unemployment rose to 7.2% in December and the dollar cooled after Europe. The study forecasts West Texas Intermediate between 24 and 26 by year end, notes OPEC deficits rising from 23 to 116 billion dollars by 1986, and says lower prices may curb inflation and aid non-communist growth despite OPEC’s troubles.
