Re: New evidence found for Planet 9
#12We used to have a perfectly adequate Planet 9, until it was declared unworthy of planethood.
Wait until you open the arxiv paper and find that one of the authors is Michael E Brown, the self-proclaimed “guy who killed Pluto”
Suits him well. Now he's looking for a replacement for the planet he killed.

#13How long after LSST comes online untill we are sure to discover it or rule it out?

Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
PLUTO

Neptune is still fully imbued of planet-hood, regardless if you prefer to call Ceres a planet or dwarf-planet.

#16Forgive my ignorance. If it's so relatively close, why wouldn't it be observed optically hiding some known objects? Mostly stars.

Those devils!
Remember Pluto!
Planet 9 should be Neptune.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Orcus, Haumea, Makemake, Eris, etc.
If you want Pluto back you have to take Charon as well! Don't discriminate, accept all the astronomical bodies in hydrostatic equilibrium orbiting the Sun!

A ton of us grew up reciting Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune PLUTO But, the meme doesn’t die because the deplanetization of Pluto was a weird occurrence that doesn’t usually happen. The biggest association I have with Pluto is that it used to be a planet, so why wouldn’t I joke about that every time I see it mentioned?
It's boring? It's like when an old person makes a joke they make every time you see them. It's utterly boring and devoid of joy.
You do you but indifference turns to resentment.

What about Luna?
The plutonic discourse aside, Earth-Moon is often described as a double-planet system.

Whenever I see this situation, there's the one person who is joyous, and the other one who is resentful. It makes more sense that the emotional energy is much more the function of the negativity of the resentful party, than it is any fault of the joyous one.
