>An object beyond the orbit of Neptune is acting oddly, violating the traditional rules of orbit, and scientists can't quite explain it yet. The trans-Neptunian object, or TNO, has been nicknamed Niku, a Chinese word for "rebellious." When you consider the fact that Niku orbits the sun in the opposite direction of almost everything else in the solar system, it's not hard to see where the name came from.
>About 124 miles in diameter, Niku has risen above the plane of the solar system. It's still rising, in fact, on an orbital plane that is tilted to everything else. Michele Bannister, an astronomer at Queens University, summed up Niku's incredibly odd behavior in a tweet
>Niku orbits on a plane that is tilted 110 degrees from the plane of the rest of the solar system. One theory is that a large object's gravity is influencing Niku, causing it to orbit at an angle to everything else as well as backward. Various theories, like a hidden Super Earth known as Planet Nine, an unseen dwarf star called Nemesis, or an unknown dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt are all "problematic" when trying to explain the orbit of Niku, according analyses detailed in the arXiv paper. (It was another group of objects with a highly inclined orbit that first led astronomers to propose the possibility of Planet Nine.)
Hopefully the Russians or Chinese will shed some light on this soon.

It's the long awaited return of Nibiru the Destroyer.

'Planet Nine' isn't that dwarf planet or glorified asteroid. It's estimated that 'Planet Nine' would be about 10x the size of Earth. Unknown if it'd be a gas giant or rock.
Jacob Hernandez
>Either it's an asteroid or Ayy Lmaos.
More likely is that it's an asteroid or minor planet captured from a passing by star.
There are planets in our solar system that have moons with retrograde orbits too, and those moons were also captured.

basically a planet with a bunch of space jews on it that want to steal our gold to keep their planet powered or something like that

would we have noticed it already if it actually existed?
Charles Robinson
A phenomenon in the conspiracy/urban legend circles about a celestial body beyond the orbit of Neptune that has an eccentric orbit and cuts in close to the inner solar system.
The myth talks about the gravitational effects disrupting life on earth every 10,000 years or something.
Caleb Turner
No because it's pretty far out and doesn't reflect much sunlight.
Asher Gray
How is this Sup Forums related, you cum guzzling fat neckbeard?
There's actually more celestial bodies that could be considered planets. Up to like 20, but it's apparently because the definition of planet is quite vague.
Christian Ortiz
in the 70s, a drug abusing hippy started doing amature archeology and looking through 1800s translations of sumarian texts and then started the 'ancient aliens' meme. The crux of his ancient astronaut theory was a hidden planet called Nibiru where all the aliens supposedly came from. They came to earth to get primative humans to mine gold and silver for them.
The problem with this this theory is that gold and silver are way more common out in space then they are on earth and there is no reason what so ever to colonize earth and train monkeys to dig up rocks unless you are a very very bored space alien.

The definition of planet isn't vague at all. It's quite strict. That's why Pluto is no longer a planet since we observed it a little closer and noticed it has not cleared out its own orbit and had other debris in it

Why isn't Orcus a dwarf planet? It's literally the same as Pluto but with am opposite orbit.

Maybe it's aliens with a big artificial gravity machine that slingshot that shit at Earth whenever we get uppity.
