So I was watching
When the Bough Breaks the other night and I thought Data's explanation for a cloaked planet was stupid. He told Wesley that like a Romulan cloaking device, the planet bends light around it to appear invisible in space. But that wouldn't explain the presence of the planet's gravity well. So are the sensors that bad they completely miss the presence of a large gravitational pull?
Then again, the sensors
missed seeing a giant hole in the ground. So maybe holes in mass and space are their blind spot.

(well the other way around really. Technobabble crits for 5000!)
True the planet would still put out gravity but I think the ships auto adjust for it and a Dysons Sphere would put out more gravity then a cloaked planet.
