That thing looks like it will cut off a lot of barking dog heads.

I'm sure it'll evolve into something like this:

Find it, though, our astronomers will. I think in about a year, maybe even just a few months, we'll hear of their success. Isn't it fascinating to imagine what this planet could be like? Especially if it formed in another solar system.

Brown dwarf maybe? Or maybe that planet that those weirdos on ancient aliens think is out there? It's interesting. I can't remember the name those people call the planet but it supposedly has a weird orbit and is close to earth every 15,000 yrs or so. I don't doubt that there is a planet size satellite out there throwing comets our way in the ort cloud but those guys think there is intelligent life on it

Unlikely since a brown dwarf emits heat and would be rather easy to detect. Planet 9 is most likely a cold body, probably gaseous, and smaller than our four planets that are predominantly gas.

I'm only barely aware of that group and I don't know much about them. I stick to reductionist folks like myself. There's just so much info to process that many people want to take short cuts and embellish with their hopes and desires, I think. Best to muddle through the tedium and seek reality.

So, hypothetically, the combined gravitation of Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus could have actually expelled another gaseous planet from a close orbit of the sun. One value of studying young systems such as the one in the OP link is that we might be able to confirm that expulsion of planets is a phenomenon of developing solar systems.


It's just God playing marbles dude

No doubt that Jupiter is His taw.

So I have found a link to the myth of the 9th planet that they call nibiru.
LINK

I know it's garbage but maybe our ancient ancestors did indeed witness another body in the heavens. Of course the Annunaki aliens are complete myth but there is something out there and maybe it used to orbit closer than it does now. A heliocentric orbit that large is still strange to me even if it did used to be much closer. Anyway, good stuff kentucker.

Sorry to throw reductionism at you but it's unlikely that even primordial life was around when Planet 9 was cast out of a closer orbit of the sun*. The solar system is estimated to be 4.54 billion years old and the oldest evidence for life is approximately 3.8 billion years.

The 754 million year difference is plenty of time for the planetary gravitational battle that ejected Planet 9. Actually, it probably occurred very soon after the planets coalesced and began asserting gravity in their neighborhoods.

*If further evidence shows that Planet 9 was actually ejected from a closer-in orbit and not captured as a rogue planet from another solar system.
