ALMA Array may have found something...

[miketx]

Far beyond our own solar system, a dark and elusive presence that has become the subject of countless scientific debates, calculations and heartaches supposedly wanders about. Astronomers believe this mysterious presence known as Planet X greatly influences the orbits of surrounding space objects due to its gravitational force.

Decades have long passed since the first theories concerning Planet X came out, but today, the presumed existence of the planet still stirs up heated discussions within the scientific community.

The debates are fueled now more than ever as two scientific papers claim discovery for not just one, but two space objects that may very well be the elusive Planet X.

Through the use of the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA), a powerful array of telescopes located in Chile, scientists coming from Mexico and Sweden said they came across two extremely massive objects moving through the outskirts of our solar system.

The papers, both submitted to the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, have not yet been formally published or peer-reviewed. Wouter Vlemmings, astronomer at Chalmers University of Technology and co-author on both papers, said they posted the papers for one purpose: to get people talking.

"We specifically wanted to reach the community that could tell us if we overlooked something, in which case we fully intend to withdraw the papers," said Vlemmings.

Other stories I have read claim that if this body is heading our way, it could wreak havoc with our solar systems gravitational stability.

No if it's true, or better yet accurate, it won't be like that, it will be a large planetary body, and if it moves through here, we would be up the creek.

Ok, 'splain it to me. You know how anti science us stoopid r's are.

Feeling a little more anal retentive today than usual?

There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet...........

Total bullshit. The Corillian death ray is a myth.

Someone used a neuralizer on you............

No, but when that planet gets here, you'll wish you had one!

It was a pointed joke, look up, see the pretty contrails.........

So far we have about five to seven scientifically viable possible destruction of to world scenarios, twenty science myth scenarios, now there's one more that we have yet to determine if there's any real danger or not. It's not time to start playing Chicken Little just yet.

I realized it was a joke, Clinton, calm down before we take your viagra away.

Caltech astronomer Mike Brown, one of the scientists involved in kicking out Pluto as one of the official planets, said the two papers do not contain the answers for the long-sought Planet X.

"The logical leaps are sort of astounding," said Brown. "What they really saw is a little blip and then six months later another little blip."

Brown said the probability of stumbling across a massive planet-like object through ALMA is too small. Because of the limited field vision that ALMA offers, finding Planet X would be similar to scooping a cup full of water from the ocean and taking out the white whale from it, added Brown.


Meanwhile, no matter how brutal the responses are to the papers, Vlemmings hopes fellow scientists will come forward to help them observe the distant blip with extra instruments.

I saw that one as well. Even if it is out there, 25 au is a long way off. At Newtonian speeds.
