Okay maybe I misspelled it then, a cloud of ice covered rocks that are beyond Pluto.

That is the correct spelling, but as I said, I don’t think it exists. It’s never been observed. There’s also the Kuiper Belt, which appears to be at least somewhat real, and includes the large minor planets (which now is said to include Pluto).

Perhaps there is a consensus.

The consensus among astronomers is that they don't know what's out there and that technological advances in the field regularly lead to new discoveries.

No reputable scientist or group of scientists have ever said "There is nothing left to discover." Perhaps this is type of ignorance spewed by biblical creationists, but not science.

Ah yes...Scientists. The very people who WASTE MONEY chasing places that are beyond us, that they have NO real knowledge of..rather than focus their ambitions on things of value...like healing the planet we live on...and asserting themselves to being smarter than a chemical compound.

I’ve never heard anything of the sort from a creationist. Please site your source.

Yes thats true. Planet X was what it was referred to a year when I was young. This little 2012 VP113 isn’t big enough to account for the perturbation thats being observed I don’t think. Which is probably why this article refers to the still unknown larger planet.

This is exciting stuff.

I want Pluto back, but they can keep Uranus.

Astronomers probably took so long to find it because it was hidden by a permanent cloud of smoke.
