What if our solar system is just an atom in a bar of steel and the newly found planet is a blacksmith’s hammer that is fixing to mash the bar of steel flat?
It is just a migrant planet seeking a better life in our Solar System, and if you have a problem with that, you are a racist.
Cha 110913−773444 (sometimes abbreviated Cha 110913) is an astronomical object surrounded by what appears to be a protoplanetary disk. It lies at a distance of 529 light-years from Earth. There is no consensus yet among astronomers whether to classify the object as a sub-brown dwarf (with planets) or a rogue planet (with moons). Cha 110913−773444 was discovered in 2004 by Kevin Luhman and others at Pennsylvania State University using the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as two Earth-bound telescopes in Chile.DBpedia -- About: Cha 110913−773444

"I was thinking this globe enough till there sprang out so noiseless around me myriads of other globes." -- Walt Whitman
Its a Cook book I know wrong story but still funny
Bruce Willis probably isn’t up to it at this point, so we could be in big trouble.
The people above saying there’s no information in the article are mostly right.
A word. Ecliptic. Visualize a piece of paper with the sun in the middle of it. With one exception, the planets orbit in that plane . . . on that piece of paper.
But it’s all 3 dimensional. No reason planets could not be orbiting at right angles to that piece of paper, or 45 degrees to it up/down. But they don’t, and my recall is that one exception is only off plane about 20 degs.
There is no mention of this new object’s angle to the ecliptic. The 31/Atlas object is entering the solar system from interstellar space (supposedly) but oddly is doing so on the ecliptic. That’s surprising.
“The 31/Atlas object is entering the solar system from interstellar space (supposedly) but oddly is doing so on the ecliptic. That’s surprising.”
That is statistically impossible, correct?
(Some “scientists” appear to be lying....)
Remind me again of the definition of ‘planet’.
“Early orbital simulations suggest that the body is not gravitationally bound to any star and is traveling through the solar system for the first time”
If the object is not bound to a star then perhaps our solar system is passing through a patch of space that includes this object as our solar system rotates around the galaxy. Dunno.
Actually, it is the Brave browser—not liberal.
Your link does open to the article in DuckDuckGo.
That’s what I was thinking.
Considering the lies I’ve seen deceived people believe these days and the cognitive dissonance they embrace against all logic and reason, that is not implausible in the least.
Cool drawing, but that 31 Atlas guy is on the ecliptic and as another just noted, this is really surprising.
The planets are on it because of how they formed, the sun’s rotation is on it (precessed what, 7 degs? for the billions of years) and the planets orbit direction is all the same and in the same direction as the sun’s rotation.
For that Atlas guy to be on the ecliptic we would have to presume it formed with the same mechanism as the planets and their orbits, but it’s coming from outside and so . . . not?
Big statistical unusual for it to be entering on the ecliptic.
I read the whole article. Not once did it mention the name assigned to this thing. This is why I think the whole article is bogus.
Could be. A.I. hi-jinx.
When Worlds Collide.
All fun and games until it slows down and turns out to be a brethren moon.
