A for real Ninth Planet?

[Jason Hyatt]

Holy shit. Anybody who's followed some of the Nibiru discussions and such knows that one of my favorite arguments against the existence of it is that 1) it's huge. We've spotted much smaller things than that a long time ago and 2) it's not as far away as some of those very small things. Well then I read this:

Now that's definitive at all, but it got me excited that in two years or so we'll have the data to say whether or not there's a huge frickin' planet out there! Lately it's been a really exciting time to follow astronomy.

That is AWESOME.

Great fucking post.

... 10th Planet.. I dont care what scientists say.. Pluto shall forever remain a planet to me.

I second the 10th Planet. Pluto gets a bum rap....
Now, this Brown dwarf or Gas Giant has been theorized or known about for about 30 years, since the 80's at least. Mainstream science refuses to move on things like this. Never ceases to amase me. They estimate the orbit at about 26 million years? That sounds a lot like Nibiru (though not exactly). There are so many things in this universerse that are unknown and yet to be discovered.

joe rogan, said it's on a eliptical orbit just like sitchin, & it's 4 times the size of jupiter, sounds like Nibiru to me

"Dear Nasa, Your mom thought i was big enough"

Sincerly, Pluto

"Dear Pluto,

I'm bigger than you and I'm further away from the sun. And your mother was a gas giant.

Sincerely,

Eris"

The problem is that it's all been speculation without data until now. Even now they're saying it will take two years before it will be in a position to confirm it's there.

its still just a guess tho

hate to play skeptic... no wait, i love to play skeptic. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/ba...-solar-system/

but don't worry, folks, plenty of inhabitable planets are popping up all over the galactic neighborhood, we don't need to be training on gas giants.
