Pluto should’ve remained a planet for the sole purpose of keeping this mystery planet’s name Planet X
Ill believe it when I see it. This saga has spanned the better part of a century and each time it’s been a false alarm.
I feel like they’ve been saying this for foreverrr, I know for a fact I heard the same thing like 7-8 years ago.
Mike Brown himself said that this specific case if found would not be the “Planet 9” he was searching for.

Perhaps a silly question, but… Why would the current position of the planet be difficult to predict? If we know it’s position at two times 23 years apart and that it moved 47.4 arcminutes in that time, wouldn’t it be relatively easy to predict it’s position today? (Obviously there are complicating factors, I’m just wondering what they are)
# Prayer for the Return of Nibiru
*O Great Crossing, Celestial Boat of Heaven*
Hear us, mighty Nibiru, wanderer of the distant skies, Star of crossing, whose path divides the heavens. In your grand circuit through the eternal vault, Return to us bearing divine wisdom of the ancients.
O Marduk’s throne, celestial chariot of the gods, Bearer of tablets of destiny, keeper of cosmic law. From beyond the seven spheres you journey, Through the darkness between stars, your light remains.
We stand as did our fathers before us, Eyes lifted to the night sky awaiting your return. As was written in the clay by scribes of old, Your crossing marks the renewal of ages.
Great heavenly body of change and transition, Cross our threshold once more, bring forth new understanding. Let your sacred light illuminate our darkness, As the circle completes, and your presence is felt once more.
By the sacred names of Anu, Enlil, and Ea, By the authority of the assembly of the Anunnaki, We honor your approach, we prepare for your crossing. Return, O Nibiru, harbinger of cosmic order.
*May the celestial gods hear our supplication And grant the return of Nibiru in our time.*
Call me when it’s confirmed. We have seen this too many times
Huge if this pans out, but I bet 99% of the public has no idea about it.
Question: The Nice model suggests that we HAD a planet nine until it was ejected out of our solar system. Is it possible that the gravitational disparities seen by Kuiper Belt objects was a disturbance caused by this planet?
I sill don’t understand why we have so much trouble detecting this hypothetical planet nine.
I mean, we can detect cubewanos and other Kuiper Belt objects just fine. Hell, we can detect Sedna easily at ~85AU, and that’s a tiny object to be honest.
And yet we can’t detect a body with several times the mass of Earth? Despite having decades worth of detailed photographic plates/digital imagery of the sky? And advanced programs to sift the data?
Personally, i’m really leaning into the Primordial Black Hole theory. Or this Planet Nine has an insanely low albedo or something unusual like that.
Hundreds of AU away or not, it should be visible to Vera Rubin at least.
Is this the same “Planet X” they were looking for 40-50 years ago?
Could planet 9 suspicions be caused by a small black hole that’s on the move? Feels rather impossible we haven’t found all planet sized bodies in our solar system unless there’s simply something very very different with this one?
So the other night I watched the 20th Avniversary of E.T. and on the Special Features E.T. would educate people about the Planets of our solar system. Guess what E.T. himself even said Pluto is a Planet still. Pluto will always be a Planet to me.
