They talk about planet 9 like there is good evidence it exists. I think there is only slight evidence it exists.

It's evident why they named this object "Biden".

Who gets to decide what is a planet? I can’t imagine anyone with that authority.

I still think Pluto is one.

There is excellent evidence that it is exists, as we just sent a probe to visit it last year. It's called Pluto. It's still a planet whether the IAU wants to admit that or not.

No gravity well, no reflecting the sun’s light... sounds bogus to me.

Planet Nine?

That’s just stupid.

Should have named it “Planet Claire”.

a possible dwarf planet called 2012 VP113 that lay far beyond Pluto.

You'd think they could come up with a better name for a planet than 2012 VP113.......I think "Mickey" would be much more appropriate and easier to remember.

But since it's a "dwarf" planet, how about "Grumpy"? Or I could come up with six other suggestions........

Poor Pluto. It never got a victory lap after being discovered and declared a planet back in 1930.

Plan Nine came from Planet Nine! It all makes sense now!

The Guardian (and others) published this over two years ago
