## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests partly supported it: one piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- The quantity and spread of debris fit a single rawin target.

## What would rule it out

- The debris field's size and the amount of material exceed a single target, as Brazel's description suggests.
