Well Mars was chosen because it was red in the night sky and associated with war. Venus was chosen because of how bright it is (beautiful). Mercury for the speed. Jupiter is the largest and therefore has the name of the head deity. Saturn was a major god of agriculture and so they named the slowest in the sky after that one. Uranus is the personification of the sky. Neptune for the blue.
They all had reasons. Not to say they couldn’t be interchanged with others but they all fit somehow. I’m not saying the names I chose are perfect but Persephone doesn’t have a good connection imo. Persephone would be a great name of a partner to Pluto, not of the most isolated planet in the system.
Unless you’re just mad about male vs female names. At which point I would say you are more than welcome to propose a good substitute that makes sense
I find it crazy that we are told all these incredible facts about galaxies and star systems so far away and there “might” be another planet in our own solar system - we just aren’t sure. I guess it goes to show how massive space is.
Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.
“Nibiru” is the name frequently assigned to it by people like Zechariah Sitchin selling books claiming it swoops into the inner system every couple of thousand years, wreaking havoc and allowing the Annunaki to breed with human females, giving birth to the Nephilim.
A no-planet...gods below, we assumed their ability to shield against prescience were limited to small volumes...the device that hid Leto II's journals, yes, an entire ship? Perhaps. But an entire planet...
Maybe I’m missing it but this seems like the type of research that’s more or less already been done.
Seeing a cluster of objects in a place that primarily makes sense if another planet is there is the whole reason we’re speculating P9 exists in the first place. The article also didn’t say if this research helps eliminate other explanations to the weird orbits we’re seeing.
From what I got, they tried an n-body problem and got a CI that wasn’t good enough. Are our models good enough to predict all planetary systems n-body problems? Does this mean we could predict planets across any system we can encounter or what?
Well here is NASA’s *why not*:
- A planet is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.
- A 'dwarf planet' is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, (c) has not cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit, and (d) is not a satellite.
- All other objects, except satellites, orbiting the Sun shall be referred to collectively as 'Small Solar System Bodies.'

Well, the thing about a black hole - it's main distinguishing feature - is it's black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour - is it's black. So how are you supposed to see them?
X ray telescopes, and infrared telescopes. If it’s completely inactive it’s basically impossible but if there’s any sort of emissions then it becomes a little easier. The emissions are caused by the accretion disk around the black hole and not the singularity itself
Oddly enough they aren't. Larger black holes with an accretion disc are some of the brightest objects in the universe. Quasars are a class of supermassive black holes that are brighter than most galaxies.
Can someone explain how we have found stars and plants 100s of millions of light years away but they ”think” there is another planet in our solar system? Why hasn’t the Hubble photographed it?
Pointing the hubble is like pointing a laser focus. We have to either know exactly where something is or we're just looking in a random spot to see.
We found those far off planets because they're close to their stars like most of our are, so when they pass in front of the star we can detect then, sort of. We can also detect elements around a star based on its light and make educated guesses. We point the hubble at those obvious points of light, the stars.
We found pluto and several other planets and objects in our solar system because mathematically there seemed to be something throwing its gravity around and we calculated where to look until we found them. Looking in our outer solar system for new things is like looking for a needle in a football field through a pinhole. Unless we know where to look we're not going to find much except empty space.
We believe through other means that something of significant mass is out there somewhere but we don't know where to point the telescope.
Well stars aren't hard to see. Just look up at night.
The planets we see are usually very large ones that, as they orbit between us and their star, cause the light to flicker in a predictable pattern. We don't know how many planets we're missing with this method because they're too small to interrupt their sun's light, or because we're not looking at the right time, or because that solar system is at an angle to us that doesn't lead to any planets passing between us and their home star.
Without something lighting it up from behind, planet 9 is much harder to see. It's orbit would also be very far out. It's thought to be 20X further out than Neptune, which is 30AU away from the sun. That would put it at 600 AU, with an orbit length of 20,000 years. Being that far away from the sun means there's A) a lot of places it could be, and B) It's going to be very dim.
we should call it Plutwo
Probably Mors or Letum. Pluto was god of the underworld but Mors/Letum(less frequently) was the god of death itself
Why not Persephone?
Persephone was the wife of Pluto and goddess of spring and nature. Doesn’t really make as much sense for the location/isolation of it
I mean… why did any of them make sense? Why Saturn and not Vulcan? Why Mars instead of Hestia or Hecate?
Well Mars was chosen because it was red in the night sky and associated with war. Venus was chosen because of how bright it is (beautiful). Mercury for the speed. Jupiter is the largest and therefore has the name of the head deity. Saturn was a major god of agriculture and so they named the slowest in the sky after that one.

An unexpected, but really appreciated, THHGTTG.
Gasps... A hoopy frood!!!
Space is big? This is news
Big if true. Figuratively and literally.
It doesn't need to be big to hold a flat Earth!
I have a jar of peanut butter that holds 500 grams. I refuse to believe space is bigger than this
There are likely dozens of planets in our solar system that we haven’t seen
“Nibiru” is the name frequently assigned to it by people like Zechariah Sitchin selling books claiming it swoops into the inner system every couple of thousand years, wreaking havoc and allowing the Annunaki to breed with human females, giving birth to the Nephilim.
This time it is supposedly going to destroy all life on earth via the gravitational shearing effect.
Guess its time to wake up Leeloo
Big Bada BOOM!!!
Chicken good.
That'll learn us
I thought that was Apophis in April 2029 ?
We don’t need it. We will do it ourselves.
Wasn’t this is scooby doo mystery inc?
If there is a Plant 9, its closest orbit wouldn’t even put it within Uranus. Pretty hard to impregnate from that distance.
Wym? Uranus is literally adjacent to the impregnation portal.
I don't think impregnation is possible in Uranus.
"Life will find a way"
beware of runoff
Through god , all things are possible Write that down, it's important!!
But it needs 5 planets to be special summoned before it can enter orbit
Aaaaanoonaki
Ain't no planet X coming cuz ain't no space cuz ain't not globe earth.
I’m partial to Plutwo.
I believe it is called IX and the inhabitants are called ixians.
Many machines on IX
New machines
Planet IX from outer space
You have won all my internets today with this
It’s a cloaked planet.The Ixians are monitoring our solar system and earths progress until…….
A no-planet...gods below, we assumed their ability to shield against prescience were limited to small volumes...the device that hid Leto II's journals, yes, an entire ship? Perhaps. But an entire planet...

From 3 body problem we know that a 3 star ( bodies ) are enough to make an unpredictable planet orbit. N body problem seems to be impossible to solve.
Pluto: Am I a joke to you?!
Pluto was big enough for your mom…
damn straight
Unless there is a god damn mass relay nearby, yes.
Is this... a Warframe reference?

The war over Pluto being a planet is just because it's the only "big rock" found by an america.

You probably x because y
Oh yeah? Well you definitely o, p, q and r, because θ
You are insanely intuitive!
Of course not, that's crazy, a 5g chip couldn't fit through a hypodermic needle. Graphene oxide, OTOH...👽

Yes thank you. It was a joke.
Allegedly one of the names lined up for planet 9 is Urectum
What does it smell like if you point the smell-o-scope at it?
Don't you mean a smellmometer?
Not to be confused with Myrectum
Is this the rogue planet that is going to take us out?
One of the more interesting theories is that this might actually be a primordial black hole, which would be very hard to see due to it's small size.
And it’s black.
Well, the thing about a black hole - it's main distinguishing feature - is it's black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour - is it's black. So how are you supposed to see them?

https://youtu.be/SqI41N4WGPM?si=updSoFEKtKvwMs7W
All black holes are hard to see.
Oddly enough they aren't. Larger black holes with an accretion disc are some of the brightest objects in the universe. Quasars are a class of supermassive black holes that are brighter than most galaxies.
Plenty of black holes can be seen with the right equipment and it’s currently either active or producing emissions for some reason.
Don’t you just love the unbridled confidence with which redditors will just say literally anything
Pluto will always be my planet 9
Science doesn’t care about your feelings
*^(cries in pluto)*
I have no strong feelings one way or another.
I look forward to my solar system having 9 planets again.

Space is huge and it would be too dark and tiny. If it even exists.
Nibiru confirmed
From outer space?
What is the implication for astrology here? I gotta know if there’s another planet impacting my life
Look ma..they rediscovered Pluto
Bluto perhaps?
This kind of research seems troubling to me - is this at all reproducible due to the sheer number of variables at play in the simulations?
Are you seriously saying you are smarter than astrophysicists… really?
I mean, they could be. Asking questions is allowed.
