Yea, I know. From the same or similar idiots that tell us we “climate change”. These so called scientists are the biggest joke ever hoisted on mankind.

A specter is haunting the Solar System . . .

With an orbital period of about 20,000 years.
Wonder when it last made its closest approach.

The designation of planet is rather arbitrary and non-scientific in the first place, being based upon its original definition of being as “wanderer” in the sky. So too were all manner of asteroids. Ceres too is a planetoid in a Solar orbit, but we did not classify it as a major planet.

Pluto and Neptune were both discovered after educated speculation suggested where to look for them. Those were successes, but Vulcan has not been found, and I guess they gave up on that search. -tom

The article I read said these guys have no idea where it might be in its orbit. It would be hard to spot if it’s “close” but if it’s way out there?

With an orbital period of about 20,000 years. Wonder when it last made its closest approach.After consulting star charts and using NSA's secret humongo computer, I come up with roughly about 18,000 BC for the last close approach.

The bias in the orbits of 2012 VP113, and Sedna give a clue on which general direction to look, but that’s all they have.

Pretty exciting to think this thing might actually exist, isn’t it?

That won’t work. You know he’ll only want to go to the 7th planet(Uranus).

First, you told me Pluto was a planet.
Then, you told,e Pluto wasn’t a planet.
Then, you told me Pluto was a really small planet
Now, you want me to believe you?? I have lost all faith in you. Go bother someone else.
