Then Pluto would be planet 10.

If it’s YUGE and icy, it should be easy to spot. Put the Hubble on it, even if the pics might be out of focus.

So it turns out that there’s no Plan Nine From Outer Space, but there is a Planet Nine!

This is great news. I recommend that we name this new planet Plewto. It’s perfect.

And this new planet could be huge.

You mean "YUGE!" We can call it "Planet Trump."

“Back in January, the astronomer who led the charge to have Pluto demoted to dwarf planet”

This is SO wrong I almost didn’t bother to read the rest.

All Mike Brown did was find objects. It was a faction of the IAU that lead the charge. He did point out that either the things he was finding out there were either planets or Pluto was not.

At this point in his life Mike Brown was far more interested in the birth of his daughter than whether Pluto was a planet or not.

I suggest reading “How I killed Pluto and how it had it coming”.

Personally I don’t care one way or another. Does it matter if we call Pluto a planet or a dwarf planet? Not a whole lot. I still can’t see it in my scope.

I wonder if this new planet would be concealed on the back side of the sun where we are never able to see it.Even with the Hubble Space telescope.

You would think that with a telescope that powerful we would have seen it by now.

What would be most interesting, after proving that this object is a planet in our solar system, would be to calculate its orbit. Once that is done, you naturally know the period of its orbit, and how close it gets to Earth. Then you can correlate its closest approaches to Earth in the past with large events - if there are any, and there may not be any. It COULD explain a lot of the events of the past.

It may have a long period, and each time it swoops in, it also brings with it a retinue of various objects like comets, moons, rocks and debris rings to wreak havoc in the inner Solar System..................
