New planet possibly found in our system
 
Ooh sorry Pluto, You're still not a planet but we found one to replace you that's apparantly 5000 times bigger than you and 10x bigger than Earth! :o

Its amazing to think there are gazillions of planets out there. The universe is so damn huge.

Sweet!

Here's a video from last summer's w00tStock regarding the demotion of Pluto from Planet to Dwarf Planet.

Warning: Language.

Dammit, Pluto, get your sh!t together AND GET BACK TO PLANETARY STATUS.

I don't care who you have to bang, kill, bribe, or blackmail, just take back what is yours already!!!

:tlol:

Rocky planet, please!
 
Please no gas giants! Just so boring with such a large place and know you can't land there. The only interesting thing with gas giants are their natural satellites.

They better create a new Sailor Moon character now.

It would be kinda neat if the planet was called Tartarus, since it was a familiar setting for Hades (Pluto).

Planet Nine *as a temporary name* doesn't really suit it.

Kids need to start learning the dwarf planets, too:

Ceres
Pluto
Haumea
Makemake
Eris

Anybody else remember Planet X, out there beyond Pluto?

Pluto is still a planet, damnit! #PlanetLivesMatter

Its amazing how in the last twenty years or so people have discovered millions of planets whether rock or gas giants in other solar systems and in other galaxies completely and yet failed to realize a tenth planet is in the furthest reaches rotating around our own sun. It takes Pluto 248 years to rotate just once. In other words it was last at the point it is now when the colonist were boycotting the Townsend Acts.

Just how big is the Kuiper belt if it is likely to take this possible planet 10,000 years just once to Pluto's 248? If Pluto is way out there this distance sounds much further than the distance between Mercury and Pluto.

Oh yeah. Planet X aka Nibiru. Wasn't that thing supposed to have hit us by now?

Neat. And oh Pluto, I still remember when you were considered a planet:cry:
