Pluto's Replacement?

There is a high probability that a ninth planet has yet to be discovered....

Very Cool!

The aliens from that unnamed planet landed here a million years ago and started breeding with humans.

That explains why you look like you do. Resistance is futile.

Very cool article! Looks like the ninth planet has been discovered, we just haven't seen it yet.

Hmm wonder if it's Planet X / Nibiru could it be the Ancient Alien folks were right all along?

OK...after re-reading the article, it is obvious that for most astronomers, it is now "Game On"!

All sorts of telescopes will be looking for a new planet with a bizzare eliptical orbit....it is also a REALLY big orbit as well....

I'm guessing that there will also be some great interest in coming up with a name for this planet once it is sighted. Since it is "about time" that we found this puppy, how about planet "ROLEX" ??

Life is good!

They've got a big job ahead of them. It'd be nice if they find it soon but it will be waaaay too far out to have formed where it supposedly is. That's the hard part
