UM-Bot Posted December 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (IP: Staff) · Researchers have identified what could be two new large planets in the outer reaches of our solar system. The idea that there could be a previously undiscovered world located far out beyond the orbit of Pluto has been the subject of heated debate among astronomers for years.

Tw1sted Consciousness Posted December 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2015 So 'Planet X' is just any planet that some researchers find while the others remain skeptical of? or is this a misleading title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashyne Posted December 15, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2015 They are not planets but massive alien ships. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chibadiba Posted December 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 15, 2015 So would the other planet be called "Planet Y"? 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Unicorn Posted December 15, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) So 'Planet X' is just any planet that some researchers find while the others remain skeptical of? or is this a misleading title? I remember back in the day, the old time psychics talked of a planet x. Pluto was discovered in the area. Seems it wasn't good enough to fit the bill, so now we have planet x again. There's a lot of big rocks floating around out there between suns! Seems just like with the rocks on Mars we're going to have all kinds of weird stories about what they are in relationship to contemporary myths. Just too many imaginations at work with each new discovery. Planet x always sounded like a B rated film from the 50's to me. When will people just let the astronomers do there work!

aquatus1 Posted December 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 15, 2015 So 'Planet X' is just any planet that some researchers find while the others remain skeptical of? or is this a misleading title? Pretty much. It's like "missing link" for biologists. It's just a placeholder. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnicolette Posted December 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Well that is some ridiculous reasoning. If its true we happened to spot it there would be 20,000 of them and there isnt?

Dr.Brian Posted December 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 15, 2015 These are just claims based on speculative evidence and are not peer reviewed scientific papers claiming these planets actually exist. More than likely one of the multiple logical explanations for what their data stands for is correct and they are probably not planets at all.

Merc14 Posted December 15, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 15, 2015 These are just claims based on speculative evidence and are not peer reviewed scientific papers claiming these planets actually exist. More than likely one of the multiple logical explanations for what their data stands for is correct and they are probably not planets at all. Actually the teams have submitted research papers but they haven't been accepted yet. From the article: On December 8 researchers from Sweden and Mexico quietly submitted two papers to the prestigious journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, announcing their discovery of not one but two possible Planet X candidates. The quiet did not last for long. Even though neither paper has yet been accepted for peer-review and publication, the researchers uploaded both to the arXiv, a public online repository for preprint papers, where they appeared last night. Not sure if we have the tools, yet, to verify the data but the next decade promises some very powerful new observatories coming on-line that may help answer some of these questions. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyche101 Posted December 16, 2015 #15 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Considering we feel the Oort cloud, while hypothetical is expected to be filled with Icy bodies, some bigger than Pluto, it does not see in the realm of science fiction. Be interesting to see what they find. I wonder if New Horizons could help with the inquiry? 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted December 16, 2015 #16 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (IP: Staff) · Why can't they point the Hubble out there and take some pics, I'm sure it's there The Hubble is actually rather a small telescope, it would only see a dot. It would prove nothing. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
