This article is a poor paraphrasing of "When Worlds Collide", a great SF read.

Bummer. I stopped paying my bill and doing laundry months ago because we were all going to die anyway. Last time I listen to Nancy at Zetatalk.

So, X is XI?
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
or the newly discovered mini-planet QuaoarNot technically true but probably the safest way to state this for such an article as this. If Pluto were discovered today, it probably would not be considered a planet either.

Roman numerals were switched to base 11 when we started using the metric alphabet.

The astronomical side of the story is no good, either. A planet with a highly elliptic orbit of 3,600 years would after a few rotations fly off, direction deep space - or just become part of the 'normal' solar system. Maybe it does exist. Maybe it became a part of the 'normal' solar system.
There is a 'moon' that has partial atmosphere and the largest volcanic activity in our solar system (more than earth).
It is very possible this 'moon' was part of a larger planet, and when a collision occurred in our solar system way back in it's cycles, one of the leftover pieces settled into 'earth' orbit and the other got caught up by the gravity of a very large planet.
ANY ASTRONOMERS or the like care to guess the name of this planet x ?

I'd still like to know what destroyed the planet that existed between Mars and Jupitor.
