Long but a good read.

[Bigg Red]

Very interesting. Thanks.

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

Foolish humans!

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.

"Planet X is the supposedly eleventh planet of our solar system"

I hate those darn metric Roman numbers!

[Psycho_Bunny]

So, X is XI?

[asformeandformyhouse]

or the newly discovered mini-planet Quaoar

Not 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.

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.

By the way... do a search on "Quaovar"

By the way... do a search on "Quaovar"

Nevermind...they misspelled "Quaoar"

[Andonius_99]

Some people think X isn't even a real planet, but a 'brown dwarf': a massive ball of dust and gas that almost succeeded in becoming a star.

"it triggers earthquakes"

"it rips open volcanoes, and unleashes massive tsunamis."

Sorry...must have been all the mexican food I ate last night...whew...stinky little brown dwarves...

Lest you forget, MARS NEEDS WOMEN!!!

But in the spring of 2003, it will suddenly make its appearance.

It's only got a couple of weeks left.

[The Great RJ]

Gee and I was just about to go out and by several rolls of aluminum foil to make an extra heavy duty hat. I might stock up anyway --those black helicopters might be back.

[Nowhere Man]

Hmmm, if there is something tugging at the orbits of Neptune, Pluto, and whatever else, maybe the Solar System has a brown or black dwarf companion that we do not know of or have yet to discover. I know a large percentage of stars are binary or even trinary stars, maybe our own Sun, Sol, has a companion of it's own. It's possible I can be wrong, but I'm just tossing this off the cuff for sake of discussion.
