New planet in the solar system discovered?

[davos]

It looks like the idea behind Planet X actually may hold some water now:

In a few scientific journals as well now too.

I read this thing earlier and of course on the internet, one thing leads you to another and you don't know how you got to a certain page. But nonetheless, this is really fascinating and hope they get their modern eureka moment and find this thing. Supposedly it is pretty massive based on what's orbiting around it.

15,000 year orbits.  Crayyy

Yes that is crazy. Plus the distance from the sun probably renders it devoid of any life. More than likely it is a gas planet or a mixture of ice.

Scientists been calling for it for decades...  They describing it as knowing something lurking in the dark but can't see it but know it's there.

So Zachery Sitchin was correct after all... After he devoted his whole life to research of the 12th planet.

It's called a ghost poo. You know you poo'd, but when you look in the bowl, it's empty. Crazy stuff

When this bad boy is completed, it will unlock the mysteries of the universe and hopefully find planet x

I vote to name it Alderaan.

I'm sure this will re-elevate the crazy Nibiru/Planet X conspiracy talk.  They were only off by 4 years! lol those 2012 folks. 

Anyways, it really could be a monumental discovery.  As Arsen put it, many have hypothesized about a twelfth planet being on a quite different orbit than the rest of the solar system beyond the ancient alien jargon.  I'm not in astrophysics at all (landscape architecture) but it would be interesting to see if this could actually be the dead nemesis star from a formerly binary solar system.  That's a theory out there as well. 

 

Edit: Also just to note, the telescope being used was named "subaru"
