      What's funny is that there's an element called tantalum. During the period when new elements were being discovered in the 19th & 20th centuries a lot of them were being named after planets (Uranium, Plutonium, Neptunium, etc...).

      The search for ninth planet has been a thing for well over 100 years. Scientist have suspected that there is a large mass object beyond Neptune since 1846 it is what led to the discovery of Pluto. back in the 1930s. The other possibility is that the mass of Neptune has been calculated incorrectly and therefore doesn't need a 9th planet to explain it's orbit.

    • @stormycatmink
      @stormycatmink Před 4 měsíci +12

      If I recall, even before they found Neptune, they already suspected it wouldn't account for the error in Uranus' orbit, and another larger planet must exist even further out. An additional single body alone could not cause the complex deviations that had been observed. While some of those earlier estimates were later debunked, the evidence still leans towards an additional massive object which isn't accounted for.

    Makes me think of the theory of Nemessis in the 1980s and early 1990s, where Nemessis was supposed to be a stellar companion of the Sun orbiting it in ~26 000 000 years. It would be so far that it would resemble a normal star, around magnitude 12, with a very small proper motion, and small enough parallax (although larger than the parallax of Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbour star) not to be visible unless accurately measured. It would have been one the ~1 000 000 stars of that brightness in the sky, but no one knew which one, and at that time it was unfeasible to measure 1 000 000 parallaxes. Now that Gaia measured accurate positions and parallaxes of 1 700 000 000 stars, we know for sure that Nemessis does not exist.

      Yes, I remember reading Raup and Sepkoski's papers more or less as they came out. (I should check the speelungs, but it's not worth the effort.) One paper they saw a 26 Myr cyclicity. The next revision, similar methodology, bigger data set - 11 Myr cyclicity. Next revision : 40 Myr cyclicity.
      That is the sign of pulling noise out of noise. There is no signal worth extracting there. They had a perfectly reasonably hypothesis, they tested it against the data (at least 3 times) and found that the data does not support their hypothesis.
      Feynmann had a more succinct way of describing such results : "wrong".

    The planets name should be Nibiru to owe credit to the Babylonians and Assyrians who discovered it. And knew its orbit was weird also. I don’t know how they did it but somehow they did. A lot of their achievements have been attributed to others so we should owe respect to them and not re write history to suite our own interests.

    I have to admit, I'm rooting for the black hole hypothesis. Think of the research opportunities something like that would provide.
    Downside is, finding it in the first place would be extremely difficult and would require a completely different set of methods for detection, involving trying to determine the object's orbital trajectory and then looking for microlensing events that match that orbit.

    The only issue is that for Planet 9 to be able to sit that far out, it not only would have had to be flung out there by the various gas giants, it also had to have something circularize its orbit out that far so that it doesn't dip back into the solar system.
    That being said, I think I have an answer. I was messing around in Universe Sandbox and managed to get a Planet 9 like ejection, and then decided to chuck a small red dwarf past the system on a trajectory that kept it away from most of the system but had it hurtle past the inside of the ejected planet's orbit. Low and behold, this actually gave the planet a boost, lifting its periapsis far enough out so that it stayed clear of the rest of the system. So it's possible a small red dwarf, brown dwarf or rogue gas giant passing through the very outer reaches of the solar system could have condemned Planet 9 to its frozen fate.

    Zechariah Sitchin...author of a book called "The 12th Planet" is a controversial writer who used translations of the writings of the ancient Sumerians to theorize that an object the Sumerians referred to as "Nibiru" is a planet that exists beyond the orbit of Pluto (which, according to the Sumerians was once one of Saturns moons.........) and its orbit is once ever 3600 to 4200 years. It has 4 moons. 😁 "Nibiru" actually means "crossing", and people have 2 theories: One is that the "crossing" is actually a wormhole (black hole?), allowing "crossing" over from one dimension to another, or "crossing" refers to Nibiru's orbital path thru the solar system.

    Hate to break it to you, Simon, but Leverriere got lucky. When Voyager 2 passed Neptune in 1989, NASA was able to perform a much more accurate determination of Neptune's mass. They found that it's mass was less than anticipated and could not account for the "perturbations" of Uranus that supposedly led to Neptune's discovery. Reviewing the data from that time, it was found that the supposed perturbations of Uranus were actually errors in observation.

It’s not the ninth planet. Pluto is and always will be the ninth planet.

    When we visualize the objects circling the sun, we picture the orbits as always being on the same 2 dimensional plane. I understand the physics of why the objects will coalesce at the point in which the centripetal force will be greatest, but at large distances it seems unlikely that they will all settle along the same plane. A comet is a good example. Comets don’t follow the same plane because their orbits are very elongated. So it may be a reasonable thing to say that a planet with an elongated orbit may also be following an orbital plane that isn’t exactly the same as the first 8 planets.
