The undiscovered planet 'Nemesis' has been used to explain regularly occurring mass extinctions.

70+ small earthquakes in California over the last few hours...

Astronomers have increased the size of the observable solar system after spotting a 450-km wide object orbiting the sun.

Maybe they could increase the size of my retirement fund as well.

“Mass extinction comes every 62 million years, UC physicists discover”

We’re overdue for another one.

Sounds like Planet X / or Niburu redux though.

[MasterGunner01]

No problem: Round up all our Donkeys and RINOs and send them to colonize “Nemesis” (or Super Earth). It's the only place big enough to contain their bloated egos.

Why are they calling their theoretical planet a super-Earth? I thought that name was reserved for planets habitable by humans.

The undiscovered planet 'Nemesis' has been used to explain regularly occurring mass extinctions.

That theory actually wasn't a planet - it was the theory that there was another star ("Nemesis") orbiting the Sun. That theory has pretty much been discarded.

predicted decades ago in ‘the 12th planet’ by zacharias stichin (probably spelled wrong). he calls the big planet ‘marduk”

There just isn’t much known about the Kuiper belt and beyond.

Personally I don’t think the discovery hints at any massive planet hidden out there. Its possible but not necessary.

[ImaGraftedBranch]

“Though exciting in its own right, the discovery raises a more tantalising prospect for many astronomers: that a “Super Earth” up to 10 times the mass of our planet orbits the sun at such a great distance that it has never been seen.”

Sure it has been seen. It originated out of the author’s rear-end, along with the entire premise.

What else is possible now? Let’s see....why stop at 10x the mass of our planet? Since it has never been seen, let’s shoot for a rainbow-colored, unicorn-populated sister planet to gaia, one MILLION times the size of earth, but only visible when you get within 100 miles of its atmosphere.

Sure. That’s the ticket. Let’s make that a new “tantalizing prospect”.
Sheesh.

Closest to the sun are the rocky planets, such as Venus, Earth and Mars.

Also known as Rocky, Rocky II, and Rocky III.

Dwarf planet discovery hints at a hidden Super Earth in solar system

I believe that they are [unofficially] referring to this dwarf planet as "Biden" - (must refer to his dwarf brain) - and I'd like to send him there.

[Savage Beast]

Aw this is old hat. Zecharia Sitchin told us about this years ago.

[Organic Panic]

I don’t get it. How does this make muslims feel good about themselves. Or is this not a NASA program?
