We're finding out so much new stuff so quickly, it seems this saying has become prophetic.

Would you mind adding this to your Ping Lists. Thanks.
Nibiru - Planet X has been found! ;)
Thanks for the ping, VR. I like the topic, but it isn't really GGG. Also, I think this 'fo is in one of the "10th planet discovered" topics. :') Alas...
Astronomers Find a New Planet in Solar System (all such topics listed)

I thought they were naming the 10th planet Qaoar, or something.

2003 UB313, the 10th planet, has a moon!
"On September 10th 2005..."

Quaoar (sp?) was the name assigned to one of the KBOs of a few years ago.
same team found Quaoar and "Xena" or "Persephone" or (my suggestion) "Brown's Planet".

That's an INCREDIBLY prophetic album -- one of their best.
They were doing Art Bell before there was Art Bell.
alas...

Haven't thought about them in years.

That was several planets ago. 50,000 AU is a lot of space. There could be a planet out there bigger than Jupiter and we wouldn't know about it. There could even be a brown dwarf star and its own planetary system and we wouldn't know.
So that explains why I didn't get that Navigator gig on the Starship Enterprise.
It's hard to know a new planet, or quasi-planetary object, or non-cometary comet-like object, or whatever they are called has been discovered just by reading threads since most all threads are carbon copies of all that went before. Same tired joke, same comments. There could be the other component of our binary star system out there, that's how little we know, and yet some are complaining that we spend too much money on the space program.

Far-out worlds, just waiting to be found

"'It's quite possible that there is a halo of planets surrounding our solar system, just waiting to be found,' says Eugene Chiang, an astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley."
I can't wait until they find Thog and Thok.
