So let me get this right.

They haven’t seen it.

They’re not sure if it even exists.

But they’ve given us a fairly detailed breakdown of its composition?

I read this article too. There may be a 9th planet as many have speculated, but so far the arguments seem weak to me.

"There are no direct observations of this much bigger object yet,"

Exciting, but, Well, get back to me when.....

Yeah, but how much do we have to pay them or we’re all gonna die?

(Ice at 2100 Kelvin, that’s 3300 Fahrenheit — I wonder if this thing has some awesome steam geysers)

Pluto is still the ninth planer as far as I am concerned. Who gets to make that decision anyway?

That other one must be Kamino beyond the Rishi maze, where them cloners live.

...most of its emission would be internal heat from the core. This would make Planet Nine more easily detectable at infrared wavelengths than through optical telescopes.

How lucky, then, that we just so happen to have the WISE infrared telescope in orbit.

And also isn't it interesting that the Vatican is running is own infrared observatory called, of all things, LUCIFER. Can't make this stuff up - gee, its almost like they're all expecting a very particular low light high heat object to appear in the sky...

This is what it looks like.
The Astrophysicists did not want to anyone to panic.

Profile? Let me guess. A Circular disc. From both sides, and the front and back as well.

Have the experts discovered what the likely inhabitants culture and their religious beliefs are yet?

I guess this is one of the consequences of being able to make extremely precise measurements of orbits, and use sophisticated computer models to calculate what might be causing unexpected variations.

Not easy.

The beginning and the end. Cosmic bombardment?
