Given the large orbital eccentricities of these two objects (which move beyond 500 AUs of the Sun), some astronomers have argued that they were likely to have been strongly perturbed by a massive celestial object (which is unlikely to have been Neptune as they do not come close enough to feel its gravitational influence) such as the passing of a rogue planet (perturbed from its primordial orbit by the gas giants of the inner Solar Sylstem) or one or more passing stars, which could have dragged the two objects farther out after initial orbital perturbation by Neptune or as part of a «first - generation» Oort Cloud.

This orbits places the planet near the inner edge of its host star's habitable zone, where liquid water could exist in liquid form under favorable conditions such as an albedo of 0.52 with an orbital eccentricity of 0.11 and more than 52 percent cloud cover under a sufficiently dense atmosphere of water, carbon dioxide, and molecular nitrogen like Earth's (ESO science release; Pepe et al, 2011; and Kaltenegger et al, 2011 — more below).

Kinect helped revitalise the Xbox 360 as a platform midway through its life, and there's the odd headline game, such as Swery's demented and sadly underloved D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die, or Q Entertainment's sizzling laser display Child of Eden, that hints at what's achievable when you treat the sensor's eccentricities as an excuse to strike out afresh, rather than «enhancing» a proven formula with wonky gesture or voice inputs.

Consider the possibility that not just millions, but billions face disastrous consequences from the likes of (including but not limited to): Sandy (and other hybrid and out - of - season storms enhanced by the earth's circulatory eccentricities and warmer oceans); the drought in progress; wildfires; floods (just last week, Argentina had 16 inches of rain in 2 hours *); derechos; increased cold and snow in the north as the Arctic melts and cracks up, breaking up the Arctic circulation and sending cold out of what was previously largely a contained system, and losing its own consistent cold, seriously interfering with the Jet Stream, pollution of multiple kinds such as in China, the increase of algae and the like in our oceans as they heat, and food and water shortages.

During periods of low eccentricity, such as about 400,000 years ago and during the next 100,000 years, seasonal insolation changes induced by precession are not as large as during periods of larger eccentricity (Box TS.6, Figure 1).

Complexity theory suggests that the system is pushed by such things as solar intensity and Earth orbital eccentricities — past a threshold at which stage the components start to interact chaotically in multiple and changing negative and positive feedbacks — as tremendous energies cascade through powerful subsystems.
