So The Scientist Single-Handily Responsible For Killing Pluto Has Now Miraculously Discovered a New 9th Planet, Hmmmmm

Discover - The map, currently, details eight planets and one former planet. But our planetary neighborhood is much larger and more populated than we might think, with dwarf planets, trojans, and maybe even super-Earths orbiting far beyond Neptune. Now, new evidence may provide the most solar-system-shaking revelation in well over a century. Two researchers from the California Institute of Technology have discovered evidence for a massive planet orbiting the sun far beyond Neptune. Using mathematical and computer models, Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin looked at objects behaving strangely in the Kuiper belt, a region beyond the eight planets filled with minor planets similar to Pluto, asteroids and other rocky bodies of varying sizes. They concluded that another planet, which they call “Planet Nine,” must be responsible for these peculiarities. They reported their findings Wednesday in The Astronomical Journal, an open-source publication.

If it does indeed exist, Planet Nine is roughly 10 times as massive as Earth and travels on an orbit that takes it around the sun only once every 10,000 to 20,000 years, according to Batygin. It likely formed around the same time as the rest of the gas giants, but was booted out of the solar system by gravitational interactions with other planets. Something, however, stopped its flight, perhaps a nearby star, and left it in a long, cold orbit around the sun.

I’ve been reading about this on and off the last couple of days. It’s surprisingly not that hard to understand- basically this guy Mike Brown thinks he found another planet in our solar system that takes 20,000 years to orbit the Sun. Somewhat interesting, I guess. He did some calculations based on other patterns of shit circling around in space and was like yep, we probably have a 9th planet.

This motherfucker Mike Brown though, there’s more to him than meets the eye. Look at that Twitter handle, quite possibly the cockiest Twitter handle out there- “@plutokiller”. COCKY AS FUCK. This is the dude that killed Pluto. The dude that made them re-write every science book, made every solar system puzzle, poster, trivia game become wrong. And he gloats about it. He fucking HATES Pluto. So much so that he wasted no time replacing Pluto with a planet nobody has even ever seen. This guy Mike Brown is taking out his dick and flexing it all over our solar system. What I’m saying is Mike Brown had it out for Pluto. I don’t know if Pluto stuffed him in a locker in high school, stole his girl and took her to prom or what, but he is getting his revenge 10 fold. He literally is replacing Pluto with a planet nobody has even seen just to rub it in Pluto’s face that he killed him and Pluto ain’t never coming back. It’d be like if Big Cat, when he booted out Neil from Chicago, made his Twitter “@neileater”. Simply brutal.
