“Planet?”
If Pluto can’t have that designation, then NOBODY new gets it.

The science of what is causing wobbles in Uranus’s orbit has never been solved, for years some have been saying there is an unseen gas giant that has to accounts for these wobbles, dwarf planets and Oort Cloud Objects are just too small for this.

Some in the scientific community would be much better served if they were up front about how much we don’t know about almost everything. But no one ever got a grant or published a book talking about all the things we don’t know (and may never know).
To: Trueblackman
tiny quibble, the wobble was seen in Neptune; there are those who believe that a short series of observations more than a century old should just be thrown out. IMHO they probably indicate an undiscovered body moving in retrograde or more or less perpendicular to the ecliptic.

Thanks ct. They’ve probably discovered this new one on the way in, it’ll swing round and head back out, and in no time be out beyond both Voyagers. :’)

I thought it was "Settled Science" that there is NO rogue planet orbiting in the distant blackness Um, no. A definive count of objects in our solar system has never been settled science. But nice try.

I thought Pluto had been demoted from planet status.

Exactly and I think this body also from time to time knocks object out of the Oorit Cloud and sends them hurling into our system as comets.

Are you saying there is a gas giant near.... never mind.
To: Trueblackman
I don’t think there is an Oort cloud.

Perhaps there is a consensus.
To: BenLurkin
Hmmmmmm.... Maybe there are UFO’s and aliens from space. If this is the pink planet may the aliens are all guy.

She came from Planet Claire.
I knew she came from there.
She drove a Plymouth Satellite.
She drove it faster than the speed of light.

No I don’t think it is a gas giant more like a unseen ice covered rocky planet that orbits on a different plane.
