I came across another asteroid impact in the ocean. It is called the Mahuika crater and occurred in 1443 A.D. Interestingly the impact date lines up with another hole in the graph of historical sunspots.
I’ve read several different people who have asked the question “How do you explain the lack of sunspots during the Maunder Minimum?” The impacts do not explain the lack of sunspots during the Maunder Minimum but, the graph clearly shows an ~7000 year cycle in the sunspot record. This would explain the Maunder Minimum.—A little off topic.
This record of DO events goes back 50,000 years. A very strong indication that they are extra terrestrial in nature. Is it possible that the barycenter cycle has anything to do with stuff getting kicked out of the Oort belt?
Wikipedia has this to say:” The Oort cloud is believed to be a vast shell surrounding our solar system, possibly over a light-year in radius. Across such a vast distance, the gradient of the Milky Way's gravitational field plays a far more noticeable role. Because of this gradient, galactic tides may then deform an otherwise spherical Oort cloud, stretching the cloud in the direction of the galactic centre and compressing it along the other two axes, just as the Earth distends in response to the gravity of the Moon.
The Sun's gravity is sufficiently weak at such a distance that these small galactic perturbations may be enough to dislodge some planetesimals from such distant orbits, sending them towards the Sun and planets by significantly reducing their perihelion.[8] Such a body, being composed of a rock and ice mixture, would become a comet when subjected to the increased solar radiation present in the inner solar system.
I would think that any oscillation coming from the Milky Way would be in millions of years
