Planet Nine possible located by NTHU scientists

There was an really old thread on the same theme, but real acknowledgement of Planet Nine’s existence didn’t happen until 2016, and no one talked about it back then.

Since then scientists have been trying to locate it, but it is at least 300AU away from the sun, 10 times further than Neptune at its closest, it can’t be observed by visible light.

Scientists from NTHU released a paper comparing images from different inferred telescopes and identified a large and slow moving object around 3 to 5 times the size of earth, around 500 to 700 AU away. If it is planet nine, wow, we should name it after a Taiwanese deity, no?

Some Pangcah (Amis) gods candidates in keeping with the god of the underground theme:

Mahalengo
Goddess of Shadow and Soul. Also Goddess of the Earth. Sister of Sky God Arayang. Mahalengo married her brother, and they couldn’t keep away from one another, and their children where sandwiched between them with no room to move. So their children (all gods as well) created 5 mountains to separate their parents. Very similar to Maori creation myth.

Wakah
God of Headhunting and caretaker of the dead.

Alikakay
Giants in Amis legends.

Is it the planet some call Nibiru?

You piqued my curiosity. Nancy Lieder? She doesn’t have her own wiki page and I can’t find much about her. I’m assuming she’s a tad batshit, but she interests me.

Never heard of her.
But have seen theories, that there might be a planet orbiting a bit further away than the others and well, some called it planet X and others Nibiru.

I don’t remember much details.

I’m completely onboard with Planet 9. Loads of evidence to suggest it is there. That’s presumably what this thread is about.

I’d still call it Planet 10, since I grown up with Pluto as the 9th planet. :grin:

There is a lot of interesting stuff out there in the space, but the inability to verify most of the information is kind of off putting.

If Pluto counts as a regular planet, then the new one would be Planet 50 or something.
