It's worth pointing out that it's theorized structure. It shows up in a simulation of a solar system population that has never been identified.
Yeah. A pattern in the data could just be a relic of the way the data has been collected or the limited time we have been collecting it. I remember an Anton Petrov video where he actually pointed to a swirl or mass of plotted data points in a representation of the solar system and cautioned against drawing conclusions for this very reason. Many of these objects are dim, very far out, and slow moving, while some of our best instruments for studying them are young. I'd wait for more data.
We have never detected a single object (in situ) from this theorized population. There is no data.
Oh, my mistake. There is no data. When the article goes on and on about the data, the data referred to here,
I should have realized there was no data.
