I’ve got a very old atlas that shows 13 planets with their stats and orbits.

Didn’t we just get rid of a planet?

The Obama administration and the BLS will just fudge the numbers to get the number of planets down to the historical average, and then blame Republicans for “gravitational anomalies that hurt the middle class”

Yeah, they got rid of Pluto and then replaced it with a new planet, Tyche, four times bigger than Jupiter.
Now we get this one. Have they named it yet?

A highly elliptical orbit sounds oddly familiar. Sort of Sitchinesque.

Interesting timing to publish such a thing. Five billion miles wouldn't put it anywhere near Earth, but it would disrupt the Kuiper Belt pretty thoroughly.

He was a good planet. Just getting himself turned around. Never bothered anybody. If thr orbit fits you must admit. Free Pluto!

You know, a lot of this recent crap about Pluto seems to me more geared towards claiming older schoolbook science text is outdated so they can rewrite it and replace it with liberal crap.
