It's fascinating, isn't it?  My first instinct was that these are hot objects embedded in a nebula.  But might they be a Dark Star system located deep within the outer solar system, enveloped in a gaseous halo?

This image is for real.  What I cannot verify for you is who supplied the original set of coordinates.  My academic friend indicates that the coordinates were provided to him by another researcher who claims that Nibiru passed through this point. Intriguingly, that researcher also claims that he is in contact with Vatican astronomers.  As you can see, this trail quickly becomes murky, so how these coordinates emerged is not something I can stand by.  But the image is authenticate enough, which makes a change, right?

The constellation is Orion.  The stellar coordinates are 5h49' and -04h02' (the exact seconds are on hold for now), which looks to me like a point midway between the bright stars Alnitak and Saiph.  This location is not far from the Great Nebula in Orion (M42/M43), which may explain its gaseous cloud-like qualities. 

My astronomer friend described additional work he did to further his understanding of what we might be seeing here:

"I [carried out] synthetic aperture photometry, but I found more than 20 stars with a instrumental magnitude near 16m, so many could be a planet or an asteroid." 

He further points out that this technique usually comes up with a magnitude result that is several times too high. So the instrumental magnitude of 16 is probably equivalent to a real magnitude of 18 or greater, which is very low, and could indicate background stars, or faint, distant solar system objects as suggested.  My friend has indicated that if one or more of these objects are planet-sized, then they are well beyond Pluto and that a minimum perihelion passage would be at least 15 years away.  But that's an 'if'.  More research is required, which my friend plans to carry out in the fullness of time.

The above table of unidentified IRAS objects is in my research archive (1).  It doesn't contain a matching object to the coordinates supplied. So I would guess that the coordinates supplied to my astronomer friend were not simply lifted from data of unknowns from IRAS research.  Which makes this information particularly intriguing.

Planet X researcher Barry Waemkessel considers it likely that the last object on the table is a half-Jupiter mass Dark Star which he names 'Vulcan'.

I can't say with any degree of certainty whether this image is of Nibiru/Planet X/Dark Star.  I can only verify that the image is an authentic image from an academic source.  If more information comes my way, I'll publish it on this website.  I'm also interested in any information which may corroborate or eliminate this as a Dark Star candidate.
