Hi all -
Combining two threads,
What if there turn out to be massive numbers of
objects fitting the new definition?
Why doesn't the naming committee just issue a
statemtent demanding a deep space observatory probe
before they consider changing the definition of
planet?
I suppose if they isued
Hi all -
Past my bedtime, and I feel I'm getting to be a bore,
but - one more post
Right about the waste of money flying men to Mars to
do a couple of robots work. The transportation costs
to and from Mars are too high and will always be to do
any development. On the other hand, we need to bui
Hi all:
Depending on albedo, there could easily be Earth-sized bodies beyond the
Kuiper Belt (do not remember the exact numbers off the top of my head but
could find out). As far as perturbations are concerned, we are likely to be
getting comets from the Oort cloud (that is how it was predicted
Hi Larry, all -
Yeah, there could be massive bodies out there, but
there aren't. That's what Myles' study shows.
What's sending the comets our way are our solar
system's passings through the plane of our galaxy, the
Milky Way. That's exactly what is shown in the
extinction record, and it confi

Better yet, why not get
Hi Ron -
When do we get back the tens of millions of dollars
spent looking for Nemesis? The NEO search teams could
really use it. There's those 64 fragments of SW3
coming back around in 2022. Additionally there's a
pack of nuts all gearing up to holler about 2012, very
close to SW3's 2011 retu

and we'll see just how it takes to find it! But watch
me; I'm tricky. I might give it a high inclination orbit.

Bigger than Pluto? At greater AUs'out?
This could explain the comets that come out of the blue appear once and
never return.
Did not astronomers think that it was interstellar perturbations that
"jarred" the K-belt?
A large "planet(s)" out there would have much more effect than stars
