Are we going to have to pay reparations?
Aw you beat me.
Also the name of an OS.
Not mine, I cut the grass yesterday and there was nothing there......
I think you meant the Oort Cloud. I agree that the periodic ejection of large numbers of comets from the Oort is one indication that there is a large object/planet in a very long orbit.
They are off by three - I'm surprised nobody mentioned "Niburu", as in:

That is how they found Pluto.
I can’t figure out why they still refer to Planet 9 as hypothetical.
In addition to Pluto, there’s also Eris, 2007OR10, Makemake, Haumea, Quaoar, and Sedna. Truth is that when they demoted Pluto from planet status, they already knew of other planetoids, but didn’t let us know about them until after they demoted Pluto. I wonder whether it’s because they would have felt stupid that they had failed to recognize Eris as a Pluto-like object for decades while they were dismissing the Planet X (Planet 10).
If Pluto were classified as a planet, they were flat out wrong for decades. If Pluto isn’t a planet, these aren’t planets either.
I want a Papaya King hot dog!
My favorite movie of all time. The production values were enormous in the making of this movie. The string holding the paper plate that was supposed to be the flying saucer was very expensive. Not to mention the cardboard tombstones that kept falling down.
Much simpler definition of a planet than the one currently in use:
Planet: Any object containing large amounts of “metals” that is massive enough that gravity forces it into a “round “shape (hydrostatic equilibrium).
List of planets:
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Earth
Venus
Mars
Mercury
Pluto
Eris
LIkewise, “moon” is a silly word to describe natural sattelites. Any pebble in outer space will orbit any boulder. We will find thousands of “natural sattelites” in this solar system alone. The Moon is one million times larger than any other moon around any of the inner planets!
“Moon” should be used to describe any object that would be a planet, but which is in orbit around another planet.
Such Moons:
Ganymede (Jupiter III)
Titan (Saturn VI)
Calisto (Jupter IV)
Io (Jupiter I)
Luna (Earth I)
Europa (Jupiter II)
Triton (Neptune I)
Triton is seven times more massive than Oberon, the most massive sattelite that does NOT fit this definition.
Not if we return the planet to its rightful owner. Finding the star it belongs to may take some time.
Jupiter is already a mini solar system
Lies.
It is Planet 10.
Planet 9 is PLUTO.
Thanks MtnClimber. And, btw, to All, no duh.

"To Pluto And Far Beyond" By David H. Levy, Parade, January 15, 2006 -- We don't have a dictionary definition yet that includes all the contingencies. In the wake of the new discovery, however, the International Astronomical Union has set up a group to develop a workable definition of planet. For our part, in consultation with several experienced planetary astronomers, Parade offers this definition: A planet is a body large enough that, when it formed, it condensed under its own gravity to be shaped like a sphere. It orbits a star directly and is not a moon of another planet. |
I mean, in between stars
I bet there are trillions
