    Could the strange orbits of small, distant objects in our solar system lead us to a big discovery? Planetary astronomer Mike Brown proposes the existence of a new, giant planet lurking in the far reaches of our solar system -- and shows us how traces of its presence might already be staring us in the face.

    This guy Mike Brown is actually a huge fucking deal in the science community. He found most of the Dwarf Planets I grew up memorizing as well as two of Pluto’s moons, Sedna like he said, as well as a dwarf planet much larger than Pluto. It’s crazy how humble this guy is considering how big of an impact he has had on astronomy

      Food For Thought Correct however, primordial black holes are completely theoretical also. Black holes were first calculated before observed, the math for black holes is pretty tight,
      I believe Hawking radiation to be as correctly indicative by the math as the original mathematical theory of the immense parts of space with infinite gravitational denseness when stars collapse into black hole’s.

      Dookie9669 actually it is not yet known where the mass boundary is between the maximum mass of a neutron star and the minimum mass of a black hole. It could well be that the minimum stable size of a black hole is smaller than an apple; we just do not know yet.
      As to the amount of time/age of the universe, as I understand it, there is currently a crisis in astrophysics, where the discrepancy between different methods of gauging the age of the universe has diverged considerably as methods of measurement have become more precise (the upper and lower estimates being 12 billion and 56 billion years respectively)

    If it is the missing gas giant from the 5 planet Nice model, they should name it Vulcan. As it probably formed closer in, and was more or less kicked out of the solar system. It would be a great mythological reference, and a great Sci-Fi reference.
    Alternatively, if it is not the giant plant from the 5 planet Nice model, but it is the final planter they should probably name it Terminus. Again, a great Mythological and Sci-Fi reference.

    Could these orbits be explained by an object that flew through our solar system on an interstellar trajectory, or are they only explained by a point-source of mass in the orbit they already think its in?
    Also, if there is a 5x Earth mass planet out there, would it not have some sort of radio emissions?
    Would it not occult distant stars and galaxies or the CMB?
    Are the Voyager probes anywhere near the predicted orbit such that they could scan for lightning radio emissions?
    I know it would take a long time to reflect, but could we bounce very powerful radar out that far and expect any sort of faint reflection?
    Is there a way to detect the minuscule amount of gravitational lensing something this size would produce, affecting light coming to us from behind?
    Instead of scanning old images of the solar system, could we feed as much data as possible into a deep neural-net style array and have it try to predict an orbit and location?
    I find it bizarre that this thing is so hard to see, but it goes to show I can't quite grok the vastness of space.

      "Could these orbits be explained by an object that flew through our solar system on an interstellar trajectory, or are they only explained by a point-source of mass in the orbit they already think its in?"
      - There are multiple explainations but an orbiting body is by far the best one. That said, we still don't have anywhere enough data. Unless we're lucky and serendipitously get the right data early, we'll likely have to wait until the LSST is running.
      "Also, if there is a 5x Earth mass planet out there, would it not have some sort of radio emissions?"
      - Not necessarily, at least at any strength we could use to comb the sky to try and find it.
      "Would it not occult distant stars and galaxies or the CMB?"
      - Stars and galaxies yes, CMB not really. The CMB is really faint and so images take a while to form. We're also going to likely be living on the moon and mars before we had something that could continuously map out the CMB at a high enough quality to spot planets against it (and that's assuming that the planet even has a different black body than the CMB behind it).
      "Are the Voyager probes anywhere near the predicted orbit such that they could scan for lightning radio emissions?"
      - The voyager probes aren't near anything. Also at that distance, the planet may not have the right kind of atmosphere and internal heat for lightning to occur.
      "I know it would take a long time to reflect, but could we bounce very powerful radar out that far and expect any sort of faint reflection?"
      - It's far too far for any kind of radar that we have.
      "Is there a way to detect the minuscule amount of gravitational lensing something this size would produce, affecting light coming to us from behind?"
      - Yes, that would be fairy easy. The only problem would be that there would have to be stars in the right places and it wouldn't be repeatable. Once we already know where the planet is, we could check for an atmosphere and put limits on the planet's size if we were watching a star at the right time while it passed in front. (This method was used to discover Uranus' rings and that Neptune's rings have gaps in them)
      "Instead of scanning old images of the solar system, could we feed as much data as possible into a deep neural-net style array and have it try to predict an orbit and location?"
      - We don't have enough data, and there's no need for a neural network. It's easy enough to figure out by hand. We just don't have enough data yet. People may use neural networks to find missed data once the LSST is up and running.

      Exactly we already had a 9th planet but this mike brown guy decided to cross it off the list due to a very laughable technicality. Which btw is such a nerd thing to do. When they see one piece of evidence that provides the opportunity to prove others wrong they jump on it before thinking about all the other factors. So quick to be first, who cares if its right... its sensational. But the problem is they never actually discussed the fact that pluto lies so far out, near the ort cloud with an oblong and asymetrical orbit that if you include the orbit of all the other objects out there which also have oblong and asymmetrical orbits that Pluto will constantly cross in front of the path ways of those other objects. Making the technicality that it didn't clear its own orbit inconsequential because it can never clear its orbit due to its location, size and current age of our solar system. Its like calling a chicken hatching out of an egg "an egg" because its still inside the shell when you last saw it even though you can planely see a chicken inside. Mike Brown is that kid in class that just wanted to prove the teacher wrong no matter what even if its at the cost of the rest of the class learning nothing that day

    It would be cool if we could get more space telescopes and send them into orbit around Saturn or Jupiter and use their dark side to get some really good pictures looking outward from the solar system. Even our own moon would provide a dark enough place to get longer exposure pictures to find dim objects. Get a few planets rigged up and point them all at the same place and the array would be so huge we could make stereoscopic 3d pictures in solar system scale.

    According to our oldest texts from Sumeria, there are 12 planets. They count the sun and our moon as well as the 9 we know and love, including Pluto as well as another that has a different orbit then the rest, it is called Niburu. When Niburu's moon collided with Tiamat, it split it into our moon and earth. That created the Pacific ocean on the one side of our planet from the impact. It has an eliptical orbit that takes 3600 earth years to complete. That is "Mount Olympus" where our "Gods" live. They are the ancient aliens that created all of the most ancient megalithic structures on this planet. There is so much more to it too.

      There may be some other kind of extra dimensional physics going around, but it doesn't involve gravity.

    It would be nice to have Planet 9 in this animation. Planet X or 9 is a frightening planet, therefore it is very well known for thousands of years in the history of mankind. And it is seen in broad daylight with the naked eye, just before our era. We even have pictures of this event. We are walking in the dark as long as we ignore ancient texts, like the Indian Mahabharata and the Mayan Popol Vuh, that tell us that our planet Earth is suffering from a cycle of seven natural disasters. Those disasters are causing a huge tidal wave, massive floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and a bombardment of fiery meteors every few thousand years. Several animal species become extinct and mankind hardly survives. The only possible natural cause of this cycle can be a ninth planet in our solar system, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. We have pictures of the approaching planet, ancient sources show us the orbit of planet 9 and its whereabouts. Just east of Pisces. And it looks like LL Pegasi, the spiraled cloud, also just east of Pisces. Coincidence? To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the re-creation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". This book answers many of your questions. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9
