  1. Breakthrough! Astronomers Narrow Down Planet Nine

    The hunt for the elusive "Planet Nine" is heating up as new orbital data allows researchers to pin down its potential location in our outer solar system.

  3. In a few days the #PlanetNine hypothesis - first published on 20 Jan 2016 in the paper iopscience.iop.org/article/10. ("EVIDENCE FOR A DISTANT GIANT PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM", yes, they shouted it in all caps) - will turn 10 years old. The proposed big outer solar system inhabitant has never been found: skyatnightmagazine.com/space-s reviews the situation.

  5. I may have erred by an order of magnitude Planet 9 would be about 50 -70 meters, not 500 meters at one AU at 10 cm scale. The outer edge of the Kuiper Belt would be 5 meters, and Neptune sized planet about ten times further at 50 meters.

    And I also erred (automated technotypo) in posting only one cm per AU in the first post, I meant, and thought I had typed a scale of, ONE CM EQUALS ONE AU (the average distance from sun to earth)

    I edited corrected both previous posts.

  6. At 1 AU per 10 cm scale, with sun at edge of paper, Mercury thru Mars distance would fit on a sheet of letter sized paper, 11 inch ~ 28 cm. Jupiter half a meter away, Saturn nearly a full meter, Uranus two meters, Neptune 3 meters. Then the Kuiper Belt and Pluto 3-5 meters.

    Planet X 10 times further than Jupiter approximately 50 70 meters, or 164 -230 feet, 77 yds from the Sun.
    The largest object, the Sun, would be 0.7mm like a dot from a fine tip marker.

  7. Someone (?) posted a story about the gravitational influence of another Neptune sized gas giant influencing Kuiper Belt objects, with fairly recent James Webb Space Telescope data supporting that. (Similar newslink below)

    #planetNine
    #JWST

    Which sent me down a rabbit hole reducing the solar system to a scale of 1 AU to ten centimeters. (Next few posts. 1/?)

    HAY UN GIGANTE ESCONDIDO EN NUESTRO SISTEMA SOLAR... Y AÚN NO LO VEMOS 🕵️‍♂️🪐
    Parece increíble que en pleno siglo XXI no conozcamos todos los rincones de nuestra propia casa. Pero las matemáticas no mienten: algo masivo acecha en la oscuridad más allá de Plutón.

  10. Something massive may be lurking beyond Neptune, bending orbits, hiding in the dark. Could Planet Nine rewrite everything we know about our solar system’s edge?

  12. A ‘Warp’ In Our #SolarSystem Might Be an Undiscovered World: #PlanetY
    In addition to #PlanetNine, the solar system may also contain a closer, smaller world that could be spotted soon.
    The newly proposed planet, assuming it exists, is predicted to be somewhere between Mercury and Earth in scale, which would likely make it detectable within the next few years. It is distinct from #Planet9 or #PlanetX, much larger and more distant than #Planet Y.

  17. #PlanetNine “Ammonite’s semi-major axis is close to that of the hypothetical planet proposed by Batygin and Brown, as well as to the boundary of the Neptunian mean motion resonances in which an object may experience perihelion-raising through von Zeipel–Lidov–Kozai resonances.”

  27. Evidence of controversial #Planet9 uncovered in sky surveys taken 23 years apart
    If the object really is #PlanetNine, it would be larger than Neptune and exist 700 times further from the sun than Earth.
    Planet Nine was put forward in 2016 by Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin of the California Institute of Technology to explain an unusual bunching of orbits of some objects in the #KuiperBelt, such as #Sedna.
