Planet X found?

The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

Planet X found?

Post by Matthew »

Scientists may have discovered ninth planet on far reaches of solar system

N INVISIBLE giant is lurking on the edge of our solar system. Scientists are hailing the possible discovery of a new planet 10 times the size of Earth. The object follows a “bizarre, highly elongated orbit in the distant solar system,” taking it — on average — some 20 times further from the Sun as Neptune, say researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Researchers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown say they found the planet through mathematical modelling and computer simulations, and have not yet observed the object directly. But they are convinced it is there. “For the first time in over 150 years, there is solid evidence that the solar system’s planetary census is incomplete.”

I cannot see the final herald sun video, which is blocked in our area. Can you see it Matthew?

The strongest evidence for the existence of Planet Nine is the mysterious behaviour of the ‘iceblock belt’, the Kuiper Belt, beyond Neptune.

This quote was also from the Herald Sun.

Not only is the Herald Sun announcing this astonishing find, but www.spaceweather ran a piece on it today.

A NEW 9TH PLANET BEYOND PLUTO? Today, planetary scientists, Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown of Caltech announced intriguing evidence for a Neptune-sized planet orbiting the sun beyond Pluto. Sedna and five other objects in the outer solar system are grouped together as if they are being shepherded by a larger body. That body, say Batygin and Brown, is a planet at least 10 times as massive as Earth traveling along an elliptical orbit more than 200 AU from the sun. This is the most persuasive argument so far for the existence of a "Planet X." Until someone actually sees the planet in a telescope, however, it's just a hypothesis. So let the hunt begin! The full story was published in the Jan. 20th edition of Science Magazine.

Another excerpt from another periodical concerning Planet X and how astronomers discovered it:

Using mathematical modeling and computer simulations, Brown and Batygin concluded that Sedna and the other members of its flock must be herded by an as-yet-unobserved planet with about ten times the mass of Earth, circling the sun at an average distance 20 times greater than that of Neptune—making one orbit every 20,000 years. A body with different mass or a different distance simply couldn’t explain the behavior of the six KBOs.

... the new planet might have accreted closer in like the other planets, and then been ejected by their gravitational forces.

... Just as Neptune was originally inferred by wobbles spotted in Uranus’s orbit, the existence of Planet 9 can be inferred by the aligned KBOs.

Scientific American has dedicated an entire issue, February 2016, to Planet X.

Here is a brief excerpt to lure you in to purchase the issue:

Something very odd seems to be going on out beyond Pluto. Astronomers have known for more than two decades that the tiny former planet is not alone at the edge of the solar system: it is part of a vast cloud of icy objects known collectively as the Kuiper belt. But unlike most of their fellow travelers, and unlike the planets and most asteroids, which orbit between Mars and Jupiter, a small handful of Kuiper belt objects, or KBOs, have orbits that are decidedly weird. For one thing, they take unusually elongated paths around the sun, unlike the roughly circular orbits of most planetary bodies.

It is very interesting that any mention of Planet X before January 2016 was considered to be a "conspiracy theory."
However, it is now obvious that information was leaked to pique our curiosity.

Here is yet another story, this time from http://www.independent.co.uk/news/scien ... 23646.html

A huge planet might be sitting at the edge of our solar system without ever being seen.

The world — which could be about ten times as massive as Earth — would be large enough to become the ninth planet of our solar system.

The planet hasn’t yet been seen by scientists. Instead, they have found it by watching the way that dwarf planets and other objects in the outer solar system move — their orbits seem to be disturbed by something huge but hidden sitting out there.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

I did not see that last video either Maria. BTW, it is interesting that David Bowie called his last album Dark Star, which is what a lot of people are calling Planet X, or Nibiru. Some say that it is a reddish brown dwarf star and that as it gets closer to earth and the sun it will shine like a red cross in the sky. Also, it could cause a lot of stars to fall, cause earthquakes way beyond anything known to man heretofore, simultaneously eclipse the Sun and cause the moon to look red like blood (which cannot happen simultaneously in our present arrangement which is why such an event constitutes a sign, because it CANNOT happen under normal circumstances no matter how intermittent.) So it looks like a possible fulfilment of endtime hour prophecy.

Why would God allow the atheistic pseudo-scientists to know about these things, before His faithful? Much more likely scenario is that they are simply lying about this "Planet X," and that it does not even exist. We should not so readily believe these fantasies and fabrications, since the mainstream "scientific" community and the press are lying every single day. Why should we so trustingly accept their fake pictures and stories?
