Planet Nine

>>17276815
Man, OP, that you said Yuggoth instead of Nibiru makes you, like, one of the 1% best people on /x/!

>>17276820
Thanks. I'd considered mentioning Nibiru too, but meh. I like Yuggoth more and find it more interesting.

Also there's no evidence Planet Nine is going to crash into Earth.

The danger isn't that "Planet 9" will crash into the Earth but that it will plow through the Oort Cloud and send a shower of comets into the inner solar system ... and us.

I have to wonder if, over the eons, this planet has perturbed a LOT of comets and sent them plunging into the inner solar system, accounting for some of the cataclysms that have occurred in past ages.

Jupiters gravity will more than likely shield us. The last big extinction asteroid was 65 million years ago. The planet has an orbital period of 15k years

>>17276916
planet 9, if it exists, actually has an orbital period of between 1 and 2 hundred thousand years. However, It's still more likely than not that the evidence we see for it is caused by Neptune

>>17276938
You got a source on the orbital period? I read it was 15k last week

>>17276945
I read it in the NYT a few days ago. I guess I may be misremembering the number

>>17276972
I'll try to find the exact article and check
>>17276945

>>17276815
They reckon they found this other planet about ten years ago and they called it Sedma or something like that but the retards decided it was too far away to be classed as a planet and now hardly anyone remembers it. same thing will happen with this one.

>>17276975
nope. any bs reason like that wont be tolerated now that every scientifically illiterate person out there is shitting themselves over a possible planet. The only way that will happen is if the again change the definition of "planet" to include distance from star, which shouldn't be necessary.

>>17276945
cant find it. you're probably right, your number sounds much more reasonable

Nibiru.

>Find another body that's not Planet X
>Government is trying to wipe out the meme

would be interesting to see in the next decade or so if any of the Voyager probes manage to get near it.

>>17276975
They've actually been aware of this object since the early 80s from the pioneer 10 and 11 missions. They didn't want to call it a planet, but speculated it was a brown dwarf star or black hole due to disturbances in Neptune's and Uranus's orbit.

Now these two caltech guys do some math and computer models and call it a planet. Like the previous discoveries never existed. No mention of the previous discovery from what I've read.

i think we should call it Nyx, the greek personification of darkness/night

>>17277162
We'll find it with a telescope before voyager sees it.

>>17277162
>Voyager
>thinks it's mission is to go past all planets
>Somehow it can turn magically around from where it is now (far past the solar system) to return to the ninth planet

Go read a book please.

>its
Damn, I'm my own grammar nazi

>>17280186
You're fucking retarded, voyager hasnt even got close to the orbit of this planet yet

>>17276815
Nibiru?

>>17277162
Voyager is long past where the new planet is.

Nibiru is the 12th planet. The 10th planet is Eris.

I think OP means Pluto.

>>17280199
Not even close voyager is at 111 au and the semi major axis of this planets modeled orbit is 700 au

>>17276815

The part that pisses me off is that the same dude who discovered it is the same dude that downgraded pluto beforehand.

This way, when planet 9 is revealed, casualtards dont associate it with planet x (ten) and this guy gets credit of discovery, and basically steals it from the mayans, greeks and pretty much the whole redpilled population of the internet.

I hated that they downgraded pluto, and it only made sense when planet x was discovered.

>>17280199
>>17280186
Heres the sources too. Minor mistake voyager 2 is at about 111 au, voyager 1 is at about 133 au

ready to explore

Pluto is fucking tiny, it has the mass of 2/10's of a percent of earths mass. This planet based on the models should have a mass of around 10 earths. It qualifies as a planet way more than pluto does

>>17280211
Dude, they discovered thousands of objects similar to Pluto floating around out there. You wanna have to know the names of 1,009 planets? I sure as hell don't.

>>17280243
That's really not relevant to the point I made.

>>17280278
Theres asteroids almost as big as pluto and moons bigger than pluto. If you name pluto a planet by that logic you'll need to name 1000 other objects planets as well.

>>17280277

>>17280325
Not even that I'm talking about large, sperical bodies orbiting nothing but the Sun, a few of which even have moons of their own.

>>17280351
Again we're talking about hundreds of objects just with those constraints then. Having a 100 planets doesnt make sense
