Now we are SURE of its distance, size, and composition? The 1983 article
stated they could not BE sure of what it was, or its distance, etc.  But
Jim is sure. 

    Infrared heat can be taken to mean many things, 
    depending on distance, size, and composition of 
    the object being sensed. A very hot object far away 
    can be comparable to a barely warm object near at
    hand, or a very large object far away can be considered
    to be a smaller object close at hand, and as the
    compression caused by the mass of an object is 
    considered to produce infrared rays, then a very heavy
    but cold object could be considered comparable to a 
    lighter but warmer object. The scientists reading the 
    IRAS findings took the 12th Planet, a.k.a. Planet X, 
    to be larger, colder, and farther away, as the mind 
    does not want to comprehend the alternatives.
