There's a new planet in the solar system 10 times the size of Earth and it takes 10000 years to go around the sun.
What do you think of this?
If it doesn't have ayy lmaos and there's no potential for future permanent manned bases then it's boring and will just suck funding from cooler planets and moons.
Good thing it's too far away to really do that anyway
Gay
who cares
until we get rid of capitalism and achieve post-scarcity space exploration is a pipe dream
That's pretty spooky to think that theres a giant planet just sitting out there in the outer edge of the solar system.
What if there's ayyliums living there and they're monitoring everything we do.
Theyre watching us when we're shitposting on /int/.
Theyre watching us when we're fapping to gfur.
That's fucking terrifying.

this isnt exactly news ,the existence of a big trans-neptunian planetoid\planet has been know for many years from it fucking with orbits of kuiper belt asteroids .finding it and calculating its exact orbit will probably be hard as fuck as it dosnt get much sunlight .
we should totally send a kuiper belt probe to rendezvous with it with like really sensitive spectral analysis stuff.
>>53944746
Not at all confirmed. They put it at like 60-75% likely. Once they actually observe it, I'll care.
>>53945107
theres probably many more of those farther away , the only reason we know about this one is comets\asteroids its fucking with .
>>53945225
it is confirmed , the 60%-75%is the probability that its mass is within one sigma(+- ~65%) of 10 earth masses .
clapistan should totally use the biggest SLS + best ion thrusters they got to probe it once we get its orbit .
>>53944746
Why can't I find this being reported anywhere?
I want to USA USA USA post but I need a source.
>>53945407
It hasn't actually been found.
As other anon's have said they've just inferred that it must be there based on how it's influenced the orbits of other objects in the solar system. It's been known about for years but it's only recently been brought to the attention of clickbait articles for some reason.
>>53945495
Then come back when you have something from BBC or CNN you fucking nerds.
I can't USA USA USA post with God damn Daily Mail and New York Post links.
>>53945495
this
>>53945524
Just Google it you illiterate nigger. IT's been on every major news outlet.
>>53944746
>There's a new planet
NO. there MIGHT be a planet. fucking media.
>>53945407
because it's a prediction not a discovery
>>53945567
It's not on the front page of CNN, BBC, NBC, FOX, Reuters, Der Spiegel..
If it ain't front page on any of those it isn't worthy of USA posting.
>>53945367
It would take like 75+ years to get there even at its closest approach.
>>53945617
Fucking kill yourself. Now.

basically they tracked senda and like 6 other minor planets and saw something big was fucking with them.
>>53945651
well that's the classical dilemma of when to launch something , if propulsion tech develops fast enough you can overtake it with other rockets . we could use an intermediate nuclear rocket stage and make the probe light enough that we can accelerate it and save a few decades doing a non hohmann transfer (not minimum delta v)
>>53945712
None of these are front page. Not front page, not good enough.
Get better publicists nerds.
How soon can we send all the Muslims in the world to this planet?

They were front page earlier today, Jamal.
I cant wait for the ancient aliens opinion on this one

Nope. I keep multiple news tabs open all day at work, they were not. Doubt you even woke up before noon so I hardly see how you would know

You could say that about every planet in the solar system including Earth if you're going to bring aliens into it.
Aliens exist.
We are part of one.
>>53944746
Its like Blindsight

I want the Nineians to get BLACKED.
>>53944746
Send probe now

I think he meant weโre an alien species ourselves.
Which is true when you think about it.
Theyre are billions of intelligent species in the universe and were one of them.
To the billions of other species we're the aliens.
Why is this allowed?

No, we are part of an alien.
The whole cosmos as we know it is its body.
That's the problem with "aliens",
we don't recognize them even when they stand in front of us.

Planets are scary.
Just look at this photo of Uranus taken by Voyager 2, isn't it creepy as fuck?
>>53947564
It's literally a blue ball
>>53947564
Jupiter is even scarier.

Eat a fucking veiny black cock you useless shitstain. Nothing you've posted is useful or funny.
I'm thinking how the fuck did it take so long for us to notice a planet that big.
>>53944746
>>53945107
Yeah you wish it looked like that.
All dark and mysterious and storming.
I bet you also want to hold ancient alien secrets or maybe be part of to some cosmic horror phenomenon, gateway to another plane of existence that's completely outside the realm of human understanding.
You Americans are so predictable.
10 times the mass of earth invariably means gas giant.
thus, similar to jupiter and saturn, i don't give a fuck about the planet itself and am more interested in its moons, should it even exist.
besides, who the fuck knows what's in the kuiper belt or oort cloud. could be fucking anything.
our solar system is boring when it comes to other planets.
>>53950390
Cause its so far away that in a telescope it just looks like a star so even if someone has seen it before they didn't know it was a planet.
>>53950812
How far can a planet be until it stops rotating around the sun? That's the cut-off for what's considered part of the solar system or not, right?
>>53944746
100 bucks saying they will name it Juno (wife of Jupiter and Goddess of women).
>>53950390
>I'm thinking how the fuck did it take so long for us to notice a planet that big.
you realize jupiter is over 300 times more massive than earth, right?
10x earth is nothing. earth is fucking tiny.
>>53950812
wrong. they can't see it because it's blocked by all kinds of shit and our telescopes aren't so great with astronomically small things like planets. we're better at stars because they're fucking enormous and bright and there are some physics that help us.
>>53950853
>How far can a planet be until it stops rotating around the sun? That's the cut-off for what's considered part of the solar system or not, right?
depends on the size of the planet really.
>>53944746
>>53944746
>What do you think of this?
I think I heard about the mysterious "Planet X" long before Pluto stopped being considered one.
Those fuckers keep mangling the same shit over and over again. And didn't even come up with anything new yet.
>>53946547
No, anon. If you want catgirls, we need to make them ourselves.
And conspiracy guys were right AGAIN
When will they admite the alien presence?
I JUST WANT FUCKING ALIENS
MAKE THE FUCKING DISCOVERY ALREADY
>>53944746
I think Gainax already made this clear back in, like, the 80's with their chinese cartoons.
