Andie Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 — Search Ongoing for 9th Planet, So Massive It Tilts Solar System 6 Degrees. “My first guess is that it'll be kind of like Neptune,but I don't know what it's going to look like.”- Michael Brown, Ph.D., Prof. of Planetary Astronomy, Caltech Below -Our sun is the yellow sphere. Planet orbits are depicted as gravitationally interacting rings where Orbit 9 depicts the great ellipticalpath of what the astronomers think is a gaseous 9th planet in the Oort cloudthat is 10-20 times the mass of our Earth. Why such a huge planet would have suchan elliptical orbit is still unknown. Speculation is that a passing star atthe time the solar system formed might have pulled Planet 9 into the strange orbit.

Andie Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Audio Interview with Michael Brown, PhD, astronomer studying Planet 9 https://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=2496&category=Science January 27, 2017 Pasadena, California - One year ago on January 29, 2016, I reported at my news website, Earthfiles.com, and my Coast to Coast AM radio broadcast, about a newly discovered ninth planet at the edges of our solar system. Michael Brown, Ph.D., Professor of Planetary Astronomy at Caltech in Pasadena, reported that a huge object ten to twenty times the mass of Earth was moving in a big looping orbit far beyond Pluto in the region between the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. Prof. Brown simply calls it “Planet 9.” The discovery has been like chasing a ghost. Whatever is out there, its mass is so great that its gravitational field pushes half a dozen other Kuiper Belt objects to cluster together on the opposite side of Planet 9's huge looping orbit.
