A theory in Genesis of solar system, that suggest that Sol has a hidden companion - a brown dwarf or other invisible, but quite dense object that sits beyond the Neptune's orbit, and creates anomalies in orbits of outer planets of solar system. In addition it's gravitational influence occasionally wakes debris , and comets to travel from the outer regions of system to Earth neighborhood.

A dark companion is a theoretical stellar object that could potentially exist in orbit around a star, but does not emit significant amounts of light, making it difficult to observe directly. These companions are often inferred from the effects of their mass on the motion of the visible star they orbit.
