I’m too lazy to read the article. Are we talking about “Planet 9” or “Plan 9”? I hope it’s Plan 9. That would be much more interesting.

5 Earth masses? On an astronomical scale, such a black hole would be short lived. Using Hawking’s theories on the evaporation of black holes, the lifespan of a black hole is proportional to its mass raised to the fourth power.

“Until her death in 2016, Rubin was frequently listed as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in physics. Her most consequential realization was that galaxies rotate so quickly that they ought to fly apart. The fact that they don’t, she reasoned, is proof that there is a massive amount of, well, something in the universe that humans cannot yet study directly - what we now call dark matter.”

Hawking black holes radiate energy. This causes black holes to slowly evaporate. The smaller they get the faster this process moves until they explode in a burst of radiation. Looking for that signature radiation is the way to go.

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.
