This past March, astronomers Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution for Science and Craig Trujillo of Gemini Observatory in Hilo, Hawaii, saw a new object, the most distant known in the solar system. This object, about 200 miles in size, and several near it followed similar orbits, an unusual occurrence, according to Sheppard.
“We would expect their orbits to be fairly random,” he told weather.com. “So we suspect something more massive is shepherding these.” A planet, to be exact.

Dissing the planet and they haven't even found it yet.
Is Planet X planet Nibiru? The planet the Annunaki came from to mine our gold? Anybody know?
They should focus on flying through wormholes like they did in Interstellar with Matthew Mcconaughey and find us some new planets to live on. I mean their spaceship wasn’t crushed even though even light can ‘t escape from those wormholes so it must be safe, right?.../s
Already done! See The Fantastic Four, Issue #7, 1962!
That’s one theory. Wormwood. That’s another.
More likely Nemesis.
Assuming we are talking about a sphere perhaps the journalist could explain if ‘200 miles in size’ refers to diameter, radius, or circumference.
Another planet that broke up due to shoddy engineering.... See asteroid belt.
I'd wager the "journalist" has no idea which is which.
Planet DT’s?
Did the Weather Channel (in particular Dr. Heidi) manage to transition this discovery to Glo-bull Warming?
Depends on if you live east or west of the Mississippi.
With the "Eastern" count both sides are tallied, then added together, and the total is given to indicate size:
A "Seven-Pointer".
The "Western" count tallies only one side, and it is assumed the opposing side is the same, unless otherwise specified:
A "Three-by-Four."
In the Hawaian instance reported above we must recognize that men with advanced academic degrees are involved, and are spending great amounts of public money; thus nothing can be assumed, speculated or believed at all.
I watched all 3 hours of that movie expecting it to get better at any moment.
The best part of the movie was when McConnnnaahhhayhay’s character almost met his demise. Unfortunately, he survived and I had to put up with more.
I would rather spend 3 hours watching paint dry.
I'm sure BPEarthwatch has an answer...
I loved Zecharia Sitchin's books, but his theory about planet Nibiru is one of the most hare brained things I've ever heard of.

You know it’s going to be a bad movie when the highlight of the movie is that they fly all the way across the galaxy just to see an evil Matt Damon
