I’m still amazed that there’s a ring around Uranus.

Well at my age, you can't trust a fart. ;-)

A newly discovered object is the most-distant body ever observed in the solar system — and the first object ever found orbiting at more than 100 times the distance from Earth to the sun.

The discovery team nicknamed the object "Farout," and its provisional designation from the International Astronomical Union is 2018 VG18. Preliminary research suggests it's a round, pinkish dwarf planet. The same team spotted a faraway dwarf planet nicknamed "The Goblin" in October.

Too early to be having "deja vu." Or "deja read."

I wouldn’t call Sitchin a crackpot, I’d call him a fraud and liar.

Yes, that mystery is important, science generally runs away from them.

Our solar system from afar must look like a ball of fire pursued by a cloud of spiraling insects , bees and mosquitoes.

Fair enough. To arrive at the truth, you must consider all options. Until then it’s a gray area. Not everyone is objective, however. Hint, liberal media. Minds like closed, dark rooms.

Ultima Thule has been taken, as we will see this New Year’s Day. What are they going to call the next one?
