Until her death in 2016, Rubin was frequently listed as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in physics.

Man, THAT had to to get annoying...

“Planet 9 from outer space” seems redundant. Of course it is! (From outer space)

Wait... wouldn’t a 5-earth mass black hole be a hell of a lot smaller than a grapefruit? At that size, you ought to be able to send a probe into it and have it not get spaghettified.

Planet 9 = Pluto.
Planet X= planet 10

If it’s a hole, that’s the opposite if a planet, right?

That’s what happens when “scientists” get together and decide consensus instead of science.

The sad part is that much of the funding comes from tax dollars.

So, a ruby red, or one of those regular, kind of yellowish ones?

My biggest worry, in this particular matter, is a black-hole-sized grapefruit...

When the seventh planet was discovered in 1781, Herschel wanted to name it after King George III, whereas others wanted to call in Herschel.

Is Planet X named for Malcolm X?

Over the past few years, researchers have noticed an odd clustering in the orbits of multiple trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), which dwell in the dark depths of the far outer solar system. Some scientists have hypothesized that the TNOs' paths have been sculpted by the gravitational pull of a big object way out there, something five to 10 times more massive than Earth (though others think the TNOs may just be tugging on each other).
Thanks BenLurkin.

Yea i really liked both The Android and Three.
That was a pretty good show for what i imagine was a fraction of the cost of ST:Discovery and 100X more enjoyable.

Definitely a lot smaller, though just about everything with black holes is theoretical. Can such little mass even create a black hole? Gravity isn't strong enough to pull such little mass close enough together to have enough gravity over the small space to be a black hole (I think). But, if it did, it would have to be extremely small, much smaller than a grapefruit.
