Scientists found that Sedna... had a weird orbit around the sun... hinted that another large mass in the outer solar system was gravitationally pulling on the miniworld...
Then, in a 2014 study, astronomers announced that they had detected... 2012 VP113, with an eccentric orbit similar to Sedna's... Since 2016, Brown, Batygin and others... have discovered even more eccentric TNOs — bringing the total to 13...
Planet Nine's composition is probably "most like Neptune," ... around 500 astronomical units away from the sun...
This far out, it could take between 5,000 and 10,000 years for Planet Nine to complete a single trip around the sun. Its orbit is probably highly elliptical... also likely does not orbit on the same plane as the rest of the planets...
Planet Nine's unusual orbit and extreme distance from the sun also raise the possibility that it could be a rogue planet... captured by the sun... However, Brown and Batygin believe Planet Nine likely formed alongside the other planets in the solar system...
Doubts about Planet Nine are rooted in alternative potential explanations ... an invisible giant disk of dust or a historic close encounter with a rogue planet... [or] that our model of gravity needs to be tweaked.
Others believe the apparent TNO kinks are simply an "observational bias," because it is easier to spot TNOs that are closer to Earth than more distant ones, Samantha Lawler, an astronomer at the University of Regina in Canada and a prominent critic of the Planet Nine hypothesis, told Live Science in an email...
In their most recent work, Brown and Batygin analyzed data from the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) at Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii and confidently ruled out around 78% of the suspected orbital pathway...

Most likely excrement from Uranus.
I was wondering what happened, I’d not seen anyone make the usual joke, and I’d even baited a little with my reference to the Uranian system.
Typo.
Yeah, I was shocked the thread had progressed that far without mention of our favorite planet.
Utopia isn’t real at earths end the sun will fry it if it lasts that long NASA has spotted an asteroid the size to 3 football fields heading toward earth it may have a close call or hit earth in 2029 and that’s just one of many.
Or more likely just as God tells us at the end of Revelation 21, just disappears all creation and then appears the new Heaven (hmm maybe New Heaven & New Earth) has a better ring too.
Just disappear snap like a magic trick.
The IAU were a bunch of clowns over this issue. The reasons they gave for downgrading Pluto were laughable.
But, the results were still right. Pluto isn’t a planet. And Mercury may not be one either.
If you believe it go for it.
I do but will have to wait for it.
All things happen in God’s timing and plans, I am just another weak vessel trying to learn more patience.

Agree however you will note there are no more dinosaurs around sometimes minds change when you don’t like what you made,
Like everything else time is an experiment too.
I do think we’ve sparred before back in the early freeper crevo debates. I insist on young earth and continue to find more evidence supporting same, man walked (tamed some?) hunted dinosaurs - before and less so - after the flood.
So what/who took out the DINO? Likely 1% man and 99% after effects of a worldwide flood caused many species to DODO out.

On hell of a massive rock man didn’t have anything to do with that.
Well Mercury doesn’t have a moon Pluto does.
