Both oddities seem to suggest a planet lurks in the shadows, so large, it has an effect on distribution of rocky objects, and the orbit of each of them. Its certainly not a new idea.As Mr. Spock might say, fascinating.

Planet X, also known as Nibiru! We are doomed!

Could be a very dim brown dwarf star or a something the size of jupiter which could actually be a sub-brown dwarf star...

The republicans are working on legislation that will allow them to come in out of the shadows.

if you’re going to use goofy names for dwarf planets why don’t they just named after the Seven Dwarfs

Given a choice between planet x and planet y, I choose planet x.
As a man, I could probably understand planet y better, but I’m attracted to planet x not y.

I’m not a great fan of new theories, unless and until supporting empirical evidence is discovered. Until then I am an uninterested agnostic towards a theory.

Actually, it's not...I saw it yesterday evening.
Saturn was about 2 degrees from the crescent moon this morning before dawn.

As long as you're not attracted to Uranus.

I’m curious if there are any theories to why these planets haven’t been noticed yet?
Perhaps the surface is black and light-absorbing?
Maybe aliens have concealed it and use it as a base - they’re awful waskally...
