Damn straight.

I'll be a Plutocrat till the bitter end.

So last time it may have been even remotely visible would have been 10K years ago? Thus no historical records.

Definitely not a naked eye object. It's about the size of Neptune and 20 times further away on average. Even with telescopes, it took us over a century to spot Neptune.

It's effect on Earth? Nada, with probability 0.99999999...

If planet 10 is discovered first then wouldn't it be renamed planet 9? Maybe 10 has actually been 9 all along........

So, the movie title was misspelled, leaving out two letters? Ed Wood’s name will be forever besmirched.

There is a "Planet X" being discussed in some circles. This article is about "Planet IX."

Bravo!

"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.

The Nine Planets website didn’t change its name, it merely toes the line about “dwarf planet” status for Pluto — HOWEVER, it still sports a Pluto page, and lists it in the dropdown menu of “Planets”.
