Scientists believe they may have found a new planet in the far reaches of the solar system, up to four times the mass of Jupiter.
Its orbit would be thousands of times further from the Sun than the Earth's - which could explain why it has so far remained undiscovered.
Data which could prove the existence of Tyche, a gas giant in the outer Oort Cloud, is set to be released later this year - although some believe proof has already been garnered by Nasa with its pace telescope, Wise, and is waiting to be pored over.
A new world? Astronomers believe a huge gas giant may be within the remote Oort Cloud region
Prof Daniel Whitmire from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette believes the data may prove Tyche's existence within two years.
He told the Independent: 'If it does, [fellow astrophysicist Prof John Matese] and I will be doing cartwheels. And that's not easy at our age.'

He added he believes it will mainly be made of hydrogen and helium, with an atmosphere like Jupiter's, with spots and rings and clouds, adding: 'You'd also expect it to have moons. All the outer planets have them.'
He believes the planet is so huge, it will ahve a raised temperature left from its formation that will make it far higher than others, such as Pluto, at -73C, as 'it takes an object this size a long time to cool off'.
Isolated: The Oort Cloud, where Tyche is believed to be, is a sphere with a radius of one light year

That is too cool. I got to masses to “play” with each other for awhile.
Cite your source. If it has anything to do with Ken Ham or Answers in Genesis, I do not accept it.
If Earth was only 5000 - 10000 years old, there should be lots more uranium than there is. Instead, there is lots of lead. And don't tell me God "pre-aged" the universe; that makes Him a deceiver and a liar, and He is neither.
question:
where are the voyager twins in relationship to this gas giant and if in proximity, is there any steering and foward thrust fuel left to make the appropriate trajectory changes necessary to more or less rondezvous????(or at least get to within camera range..if the cameras still work...)

Great way to get federal funding, they’ve been doing it with the AIDS ‘virus’ for a quarter of a century without finding a thing.
Is it there? Well, I for one think it Oort to be.
The Earth itself is the source of the comets.
The comets were ejected during the early minutes of the Genesis judgment.

Exactly, and a big Santa it would be!

And repeating that ignorant fiction makes you both!
Our creator created the Earth with the needed proportions of each element; why would an intelligent creator do anything else?
Should be just big enough to contain Obama’s budget.
He's been pissed off since the War between the States...
If scientists are making the wrong inferences from His creation, how does that make God a liar and deceiver?
The best women are from Venus, the far side. The are a mans favorite because their breasts are on their back. Which makes it so nice when you are dancing with them!
Short period comets have a life of 2000 years (2500 tops)
If it is gas would it truly be a planet instead of a star or sun?

Because radioactivity is beneficial to life, that's why. And probably a thousand other reasons. Who are you to know God's reasons for creating radioactive elements that decay into other elements?
But arguing with young earth creationists is a waste of time; I don't know why I even said anything.
“...otherwise we wouldn’t be able to find Uranus...”
Not only did we find it, there’s a giant gas cloud next to it!
Niburu is said to have a planetary year which is about 6000
earth years long. There is a lot of mythology about it. The Annunaki are supposed to come from there.Those that stayed behind the last time Niburu enetered the inside of our solar system supposedly became the gods of ancient Egypt.Noah was said to have known them.
Star Gate TV series and the Star Gate movies were born from that myth.
Google “Annunaki”. Makes for interestig reading.
Zecharia Sitchin collected a lot of the Annunaki myths and
embellished them with geomorphological insights.
Sitchin died last year, after inaugurating a genome project
which will trace the genes of the Annu in human beings eventually, from the bones ( DNA) of an allegedly known son of the Annu.
Sitchin had been predicting this astronomical find for over 40 years.WEIRD! His books are published in many languages, including Chinese.
