Looks like a good thread for this neat little gravity toy someone else posted a while back.

I read this: “However, Tyche - if it exists - should also dislodge comets closer to home, from the inner Oort Cloud, but they have not been seen.”

Notice “if it exists”. It’s theoretical, as is the “Oort Cloud”.

Both HAVE to exist, though, for the solar system and the earth to be billions of years old, because without the Oort cloud containing “baby comets” and a body to dislodge them,
short period comets wouldn’t exist, being burned up on the first few hundred trips around the sun.

Astronomers believe a huge gas giant may be within the remote Oort Cloud region.

I knew he was way out there, but a planet?

[Waverunner]

Sorry Danny , I already have dibs on the top ten alien chicks from any planet...

[Vaquero]

this could be the fabled ‘nemesis’ that shakes loose comets to bombard us every 100 million years or so....

Right not it is somewhat of the theory but I'm sure they will Kling-on to it.

This would return our planet count to nine since we lost Pluto. Would this also fix the corrupted zodiac signs? I haven’t slept well since learning I’m not an Aquarian anymore. All these celestial changes are overwhelming. Sigh.

I'm glad the diagram shows Uranus, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find it with both hands.

"Sure, you can call me Tyche"

find any Klingons????

[The KG9 Kid]

If this is true, as long suspected, then that planet is the S.O.B. in the Oort Cloud that's probably responsible for whanging comets at the Solar System all this time.

The bastard is shooting at us.

[The Unknown Republican]

Better call in Korben Dallas.

[taxcontrol]

I was thinking the same thing.

[MrB]

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic...

In before Niburu

So how did the astrologists base horoscopes founded on the notion that the relative positions of celestial bodies can explain or predict fate, personality, human affairs, and other earthly matters without knowing about this?

Another source listed its estimated distance as 15,000 astronomical units (1 AU = average distance from the earth to the sun). At that distance it would take 1.8 million years to orbit the sun, so it would have moved through less than one degree in the past 5000 years. Even if you believed that the locations of planets had any effect on people's fates, this one's effect wouldn't have changed for all of recorded history.

You just hope that NASA doesn’t send a multi-million-dollar space probe on a mission to Uranus...!
