	Nemesis (star) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nemesis is a hypothetical red dwarf star or brown dwarf, orbiting the Sun at a distance of about 50,000 to 100,000 AU, somewhat beyond the Oort cloud.
		Nemesis' existence was proposed by Whitmire and Jackson in Nature in 1984, 308, 713-715, and also by Davis, Hut and Muller in 1984 (Nature 308 : 715-717) to explain an apparent 26-million year cycle in the occurrence of mass extinctions on Earth as noted by Raup and Sepkoski.
		According to the theory, Nemesis periodically (roughly every 26 million years), passes through a denser region of the Oort cloud, disrupting the orbits of comets, and sending millions of comets into the inner solar system and potential collision with the Earth.

	Star Trek: Nemesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thematically, the plot of Nemesis is an example of power corrupting and the need for vengeance driving an individual over the edge to his doom, as best exemplified in the original series films by Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and in literature in Moby Dick.
		Nemesis was to have been the first Star Trek film to feature the character of Wesley Crusher (played by actor Wil Wheaton).
		The poor performance of Nemesis, coupled with the generally low ratings of Star Trek: Enterprise (the series was cancelled in 2005) has left the franchise with an uncertain future.

	Nemesis
		The "Nemesis Theory" was an outgrowth of the discovery of Alvarez et al., that the impact of a large (>10 km diameter) comet or asteroid was responsible for the great mass extinction that took place 65 million years ago.
		The Nemesis theory was devised to account for this regularity in the timing of the mass extinctions reported by Raup and Sepkoski.
		Perturbations from passing stars are not sufficient to disrupt the orbit, but they are sufficient to cause a slight (a few Myr) jitter in the interval between extinctions.

	Nemesis, Proposed Companion Star to the Sun and Mass Extinctions on Earth
		Nemesis was the culmination of a chain of events that began in 1977, in Gubbio, Italy, a tiny village halfway between Rome and Florence.
		The case for the companion star is perhaps solid enough to score a victory in a court of law, but in the court of science, the ultimate proof will be in the finding.
		Using the computer-controlled 30-inch reflecting telescope at Leuschner Observatory, in Lafayette, Calif., the scientists are in the process of photographing 5,000 red stars in the northern hemisphere and measuring the parallax of each—the shift in its apparent position as the Earth rotates around the sun.

	USATODAY.com - Star systems hint at possibility of sun's 'Nemesis' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The stars are about 60 light-years away, and the shape of their disks have astronomers pondering the long-debated possibility that our own sun might have an as-yet unfound companion dubbed Nemesis.
		Kalas and Graham speculate that stars also having sharp outer edges to their debris disks have a companion — a star or brown dwarf —; that keeps the disk from spreading outward, similar to how Saturn's moons shape the edges of some of the planet's rings.
		Perhaps a passing star ripped off the edges of the original planetary disk, but a star-sized companion, remaining in place, would be necessary to keep the remaining disk material from spreading outward, he figures.

	The Nemesis Theory by Sasha
		The Nemesis Theory stems from the discovery of a crater 10 km in diameter which is believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
		The probability of a companion star also gains support by the fact that more than 50% of stars in a galaxy are in a binary system, which would lead one to conclude that a "death" companion star to the sun to be a probable reality.
		To determine which star is the Sun's companion star, photographs of 5,000 red stars have been taken along with the measurement of the apparent shift in position determined by a second photograph picture taken 2 to 6 months later.

		Nemesis was proposed by Richard Muller to explain the recurring mass extinctions on Earth, and the primary motivation for the existence of Nemesis was the evidence from Raup and Sepkoski that mass extinction events occurred periodically.
		This and the total lack of observational evidence for Nemesis has caused the hypothesis to be largely discredited.
		Nemesis is also the title of a science fiction novel written by Isaac Asimov.\n

		While Nemesis is not the best of the ten, even considering the very popular observation that even numbered films are best, it is also not the worse.
		While better than the lamentable Star Trek V, generally considered to be the worse of the lot, this film has venerable actors delegated to hopeless search for a good script.
		What made Star Trek the multigenerational success it has been was the ability to take on serious topics in a fashion that was entertaining.

	SPACE.com -- Nemesis: Does the Sun Have a 'Companion'?
		Nemesis is cautiously supported by a handful of scientists, who often sound like ringside rooters eager for a victory but thankful they don't have to put the gloves on.
		The notion of companion stars is also exceedingly common -- more than half of all stars are part of such a binary system, in which two stars are thought to form out of a single cloud of gas and dust.
		The smaller of the two stars does most of the orbiting, whereas the larger one is much closer to the center of the dance routine.

		As the opening credits roll on ‘Nemesis’ an immediate distinction is made between this latest film in the Star Trek catalogue and all those that came before, because unlike the other nine films in the series- the opening credits don’t roll.
		Star Trek Nemesis is a good film and can be understood on a series of different levels, but it is not the best.

		Star Trek films always seem to have a consistent feel, and since the TNG era began on the big screen there has been a nagging TV-episode quality to the movies (First Contact being the exception).
		The TOS crew may have overstayed their welcome on the big screen and with Star Trek evolving so much these days it is important for this cast to evolve as well.
		One of the things that most separates Star Trek from other franchises like Star Wars is that it is realistic enough that we can believe without too much of a stretch that humans could be living in a similar society 400 years from now.

		In the case of Star Trek Nemesis this feeling was heightened all the more in that it reunited Goldsmith with director Stuart Baird.
		Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) was Jerry Goldsmith's first score in the Star Trek series and was the very first digital recording of a motion picture music score.

		This 10th Star Trek film, and four in the STNG part of the series, has its moments but is ultimately less than satisfying.
		Now that we are apparently here at the end of the road for "Star Trek: The Next Generation" it might be appropriate to conduct a post mortem and consider the question of why the theatrical films were never as good as any of the two-part episodes of the television series.
		However, Nemesis is certainly worth watching, even if it is a little formulaic; although there are a number of questionables, many of which have been pointed out by other fans.

		A carbon copy of earlier, greater moments, with all the goodness boiled away, it was the clearest symptom yet that Star Trek had a terminal condition and needed putting down before anyone else suffered.
		On putting the first disk in, one is first presented with the Paramount DVD logo followed by a rather nice CGI intro to the menu which sees the Enterprise arrive in orbit around Remus before zooming down to the surface and focusing on one of the mining stations, accompanied by the film’s score.
		I quite enjoyed Nemesis, it's nowhere near as bad as the review says it to be and it's not as bad as the absolutely woeful Insurrection which is the one Trek film I wish didn't exists.

		Star Trek: Nemesis: (Jerry Goldsmith) This tenth installment of the famed Star Trek film franchise has been met with all the grand anticipation of a finale feature, with a tagline that suggests that this movie will depict the final voyage of the starship Enterprise with a crew that fans know and love.
		His last score for the series, Star Trek: Insurrection has been commonly considered by film music critics to be the strongest Goldsmith Trek score since his original in 1979, sending collectors on a mad scramble for lengthier albums of that music.
		The thematic development for Shinzon, his warbird, and the greater Romulan Empire is restrained to a simple cascading five-note theme that occasionally proceeds onto a 10-note theme of a surprisingly dull simplicity.
