Torontoâ A close encounter with Jupiter about four billion years ago may have resulted in another planetâs ejection from the solar system altogether, scientists have found.
The existence of a fifth giant gas planet at the time of the solar systemâs formation â in addition to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune that we know of today â was first proposed in 2011, researchers said.

I wonder if this is an extension of the theory that Jupiter was once a “hot jupiter” which is common in other systems, and migrated out to the orbit it is in now. Maybe the migration disturbed the trajectory of another planet to expel it from the system, flipped Uranus on its side, and cleaned up Earth’s orbit of debris.

Niven and Pournelle’s “Lucifers Hammer” had the idea of a dark giant way out there altering comet paths. Spooky, but along the lines of a giant being tossed out from early orbit.

So if there was another her gas giant in our solar system and it got ejected by Jupiter.Where did it go?It should still be in the vicinity of the solar system.
If it’s a gas giant it shouldn’t be hard to find.

OH CHIT, could this be the start of an announcement to the public that Nemesis/planet X actually exists?
