Is planet X really discovered?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

They found more evidence for its existence recently, but no. Nobody has ever seen it or even found out in which direction to look. The evidence is that the other planets move in ways that only makes sense if there is some mass somewhere pulling their orbits.

Sort of like having to discover the moon from watching the tides in the sea.

Thought there were some significant progress..

Well we figured out where to look for it, and it is definitely the sky. We tried looking the last place we left it, and then we looked all around the basement from top to bottom. Yup, we can say with confidence folks, Planet X is hiding somewhere above us.

Yeah well, not really. Next year maybe, according to the article linked yesterday.

Have they tried looking up towards the sky? I think they won't find it underground.
