whoa this is AWESOME…
This might just be one of the biggest discoveries in astronomy…ever. You may have heard of “planet x” some people call it by different names. it is all but proven to be just at the edge of our solar system from numerous astronomers. It was the team at Cal Tech that noticed the anomalies when looking in that area. They also said within 5 years they expect to fully locate it. And in regards to skeptics, there is a new piece of evidence supporting it being there:
Mike Brown, a planetary astronomer at Caltech University, estimated that the hypothetical ‘Planet Nine’ appears to be circling the Sun on a super-elongated orbit that takes an incredible 10,000 to 20,000 years to complete. And now, thanks to a newly detected Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) that’s acting really strange, Brown says the case for Planet Nine just got a whole lot stronger.
So what do weirdly behaving KBOs have to do with finding a never-before-seen planet in our Solar System?
Let’s find out what these could have to do with planet x on page 2

We find exoplanets because of their shadow on their sun as they transit in front of the telescope. We will NEVER see the shadow of the planets in OUR OWN solar system that are further from the sun than us. THAT is why it’s easier to find exoplanets…common sense. Or should be….
Most exo-planets are discovered by monitoring small peterbences in a stars rotation, or by the slight dimming of a stars radiance during a transit. Neither of these methods work when hunting for planets in our own solar system.
I’m willing to bet I spelled at least one word wrong in the previous post
That it is the only source of Yllodium Phosdex, the shaving cream atom.
Well dang.. Lol thanks for answering my question though.
They use satellites to monitor stars, which dim and “wobble” if they have planets orbiting. They can extrapolate the data, like duration and severity of dimming, extent of the wobble, and frequency of light to be able to approximate size, mass, and atmospheric composition of exoplanets. Planets within our solar system can onky be seen if they reflect light back at us. Works well for everything out to neptune, but beyond that, objects are very dim, or completely dark, which makes them difficult to detect. If you’re wondering about pluto, it happens to have a highly reflective surface.
Why would it have aliens? It’s completely dark, and frozen solid. Very strange to ask that at the end of the article
There are radio telescopes and telescopes that pick up infrared signals from a planted internal heat. Just have to scan the projected orbit til they find it. a 10k-20k year orbit dictates that it will take awhile to find it
And then consider the “hidden” planet possibly having an orbit that keeps it behind (relatively) another planet.
Why does this article not fit on my phone
We live in the age of the internet. I don’t think a Google search is that hard. You have pretty much all of human knowledge just a search away. I don’t mean to come across crass but you have the ability to look this up without people doing for you. We live in the information age.
Yes we do. I totally concur. But in a pinch sometimes a Lil help never hurts.
I will give you that. And sometimes that pinch will egnight a spark.
Nibiru ? Seriously ? Hopefully it will hit before the election.
How about the Malaysia flight? How’s that coming along
We havent been observing with the teck to see it long enough. It may not come in from its ellipse for another 10000 yrs close nuf to see its gravity effect asteroid belt and such
This is the same planetary body they found back in the fifties…. Talked about it in the ’80’s…. And now in 2016 they’ve discovered it.
If interested…. Google : pioneer 10, Planet X 1983. I read the article in a time magazine while sitting in my schools library in high school
Summeria already had a map etched in stone with planet 9. Curious?
True astronomers have been talking about the possibility, but this is a different object …and nothing’s been discovered yet.
It’s one thing to discover large planets close to their stars, its a whole different kettle of fish to duscover a planet that’s so far from the sun. Very large infrared telescopes needed to detect something so cold and dark.
Kevin Conod fair enough
I thought it was a reasonable question, as it wouldn’t be easily googled. (Yes he could have googled density but if he knew that he wouldn’t have needed to ask the question – catch 22.)
Actually thats the least of itsour worries – gravitational effects from something so far out are negligible. Remember Nibru was made up by fear mongering idiots.
I think the only thing shocking about this this article is they are passing old news off as something new.
Im glad to hear that. Thank you. Idk why but that was a fear of mine
So this post isn’t about “planet 9”. Who’s orbit is estimated at 50,000 yrs? Oddly enough…. Those numbers are EXACTLY what was said back in 1983…. By cal tech… No less. ; )
#nibiru
Not curious at all. What’s curious is modern science trying to deny that fact. Now that’s curious. ; )

Really Mr. Kevin Conod and I suppose you had a great rapport and acquaintance with the Sumerians.Give it a rest fear mongering idiots indeed. And as for the gravitational influence being negligible what happens when said planet if it is truly there, comes through the inner solar system hmm? how negligible would it’s gravitational influence be then? Don’t discredit knowledge of the ancients because it doesn’t fit into your tiny bubble of perceived reality. They weren’t stupid people by any means
Space is very dark. Very very dark. Sometimes we don’t even see moons around Jupiter (were still finding them, up to 62 now). Objects beyond the belt are seriously hard to detect. The only real way to see distant object is to watch others react.
How about an actual fuckin picture!? This is all bullshit
This could explain some cycles that occur every 10k to 20000 years on earth too.
A bigger concern is that Sumerians claimed it was home to the Annunaki, 1/2 of whom don’t like us. 🙂
Planet x is the center of the universe
There are a couple research projects have have made a planet 9 or 10 next to impossible at this point. One was the gravity data from the Voyager programs that showed no gravimetric force affecting Neptune, so that eliminated a large planet in our subs influence past Neptune. Another project was the double infrared scan of the our system, this eliminated any large heat generating planters like gas giants or dwarf stars out to a distance of 84,000 AU from the sun. Depending on who is writing the story about the hypothetical planet 9 or 10 the planet needs to be at least 10 earths masses in size and needs to be between 300 and 1500 AU out. Keep in mind, Pluto is 39.5 AU from the sun.

Wrong
Looks like people do not know the first thing about astrophysics. Planet X and Planet 9 are two different concepts. Learn some actual physics. The article should say, “PLANET 9” not the ridiculous Planet X. Who writes this crap. geez!

Good.

Wow! Half truths. More disinformation from “the man”.
Supposed to have passed by in 2014, 2016…..UH, YOU GET THE POINT!!!!
Way to many supposed to be videos of this, AND YET WE’RE STILL HERE???
“10 times more massive” “4 times the size of earth” which one is it?…
The volume could be larger hello?? Lol dose mean it is as dense
It’s more dense, this is very basic.
Please tell us the big secret
