They shouldn’t call it a “baby” black hole. Planned Parenthood will demand that NASA kill it.

And obviously, it is the victim of white hole supremacy

I don’t think the’re many scientists who call this mysterious mass Planet Nine. I suspect most scientists consider it to be a hoax.

Planet nine is Pluto.

That's exactly what I was going to say. What they are talking about is planet 10, or in roman numerals, planet X.

Pluto got demoted to that of a planetoid or dwarf planet for no reason other then to make a headline.

Speaking of planetary black holes, we already have Uranus...

...not to mention whatever the heck exists between Joe Biden's ears...

This 'decision' was made at a conference with participation of just a few hundred people. It was illegitimate at the time, and remains so today. Pluto is a planet.

Agree !

My impression Neil deGrasse Tyson seems to be the loudest most public American proponet of it.

That’s why I think it was done to give him an opportunity to make popular headlines.

"To Pluto And Far Beyond" By David H. Levy, Parade, January 15, 2006 -- We don't have a dictionary definition yet that includes all the contingencies. In the wake of the new discovery, however, the International Astronomical Union has set up a group to develop a workable definition of planet. For our part, in consultation with several experienced planetary astronomers, Parade offers this definition: A planet is a body large enough that, when it formed, it condensed under its own gravity to be shaped like a sphere. It orbits a star directly and is not a moon of another planet.To Pluto -- And Far Beyond

There are the ones on a collision course to Earth.

We are secretly building ships to land on another planet.

I’ll believe black holes exist when astronomers show me a picture of one.
