Graphics coming. "The Bayeux Tapestry features a depiction of the 1066 Halley's Comet."
That reminds me i need to order another velastate hat from that dude
Planet x used to sound so cool. Then they found planet x after decades of denial, so downgraded planet 9 so they didn’t have to call Haumea a planet. Even found a planet xi.
Hmmm... Initially thought title said: “Planet Nine discovered in medieval pastries” Was confused until a second reading... Dang 85-year-old eyes...
20 times farther than Neptune. Let’s see it took 9 years for New Horizons to reach Pluto. So that would make it around 150 years after discovery until we can send a probe to look at it. Can’t wait.
maybe there’s a math pattern that points to a planet with a 370year orbit, which is why we haven’t seen it?
uranus is 14 times the mass of earth; orbit is 84 years
neptune is 17 times the mass of earth; orbit is 164 years (2x Uranus)
pluto is about 40% the mass of earth; orbit is 247 years (1.5x Neptune)
Planet Nine is 10 times the mass of earth; orbit is ??
If ?? is 1.5x then it’s 370 years. Then check the charts.
164
84 = 80 or 2.05x slower
247
164 = 83 or 1.5x slower
??
247 = 1.5x slower then ??=370, or slower.
“they explored past the dust cloud and saw the rest of the Universe, immediately taking a disliking to it and determining it must go.”
What came to mind.
Of course you’d have to accurately compensate for changes in the calendar over the intervening ages. Doesn’t sound very ‘precise’ to me.
