Recent analyses have shown that distant orbits within the scattered disk population of the Kuiper Belt exhibit an unexpected clustering in their respective arguments of perihelion. While several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this alignment, to date, a theoretical model that can successfully account for the observations remains elusive. In this work we show that the orbits of distant Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) cluster not only in argument of perihelion, but also in physical space. We demonstrate that the perihelion positions and orbital planes of the objects are tightly confined and that such a clustering has only a probability of 0.007% to be due to chance, thus requiring a dynamical origin. We find that the observed orbital alignment can be maintained by a distant eccentric planet with mass gsim10 m⊕ whose orbit lies in approximately the same plane as those of the distant KBOs, but whose perihelion is 180° away from the perihelia of the minor bodies. In addition to accounting for the observed orbital alignment, the existence of such a planet naturally explains the presence of high-perihelion Sedna-like objects, as well as the known collection of high semimajor axis objects with inclinations between 60° and 150° whose origin was previously unclear. Continued analysis of both distant and highly inclined outer solar system objects provides the opportunity for testing our hypothesis as well as further constraining the orbital elements and mass of the distant planet.

Fascinating. More than 20,000 earth years for each orbit.

What I find concerning is that apparently it's on it's way back to round the Sun in its oval orbit, it's supposed to come in between earth and Mars and will be visible within 5 years.

I'm just glad that I have stockpiled quite a bit of Jovian Plutonium. Should come in handy.

Given its mass, that would be uncomfortably close.

Would probably initiate our overdue pole shift too...

Nibiru? Lol

It is roughly the size of Uranus. If it came between the Earth and Mars we would be orbiting it. Where the hell do you get your facts?

Pluto's orbit is 248 years, these guys are making a LOOOOONG reach, think there is room for doubt here.

Kinda not really..it would be extinction for us either way. These are not facts but more like theories, and its not everyday top scientists theories make the rounds in mass media,especially these kind.

Some theories are that its a planet (like the lol "Nibiru (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-ZG2nyUXiY)") in a long orbit (20,000-50,000 year orbit) around the sun into the outer solar system and back around the sun close to us and back out. This Planet X is behind the sun so no one has ever really looked in the specific location.

Others may believe that its a dwarf star that orbits the sun. This dwarf star has planets orbiting it.

Frankly, I think it's all science fiction that I find interesting to read about, but again when Astronomical Journal publication publishes a report about it becomes more plausible, right? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm8oqlg8z4s&feature=youtu.be)

So,
Where the hell do you get your facts?
This is a discussion on theories in the General Forum

If it is out there, doubtful is is part of our solar system. If it gets close, global warming will not be an issue.

Sure would be cool if they proved and located it visually!

Would it be possible to move Hubble into an observing position?

Where are you getting the idea that it will come between Earth and Mars, Fox News? Christ.

Predicted perihelion of the object is roughly 200 AU, or 200 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun. For scale, Pluto is only 39 AU from us, so Planet X would be about 5 times further out from Pluto at its closest approach.

It poses zero threat to anyone's orbit.

Honestly thirty seconds in google. :rolleye2:

What is wrong with some of you people on here?? These are theories, NOBODY KNOWS FORSURE!!
If some of you guys can't handle the general section stay out lol,

There are theories then there are howling crackpot assumptions.

Scientific theories are based upon directly observed facts. Crackpot assumptions are based on the Mayan Calendar and whatever it is the dog next door is saying today.

All scientific theories of any value are suggesting an object with an orbit well beyond Pluto.

All crackpot assumptions are Nibiru-tier stupid.

You are a special little snowflake arn't you, might as well shut down the thread mods.
