Percival Lowell, originator of the Planet X hypothesis. Following the discovery of the planet Neptune in 1846, there was considerable speculation that another planet might exist beyond its orbit. [1]
[19] [18] Lieder first made the connection between Nibiru and Planet X on her site in 1996 ("Planet X does exist, and it is the 12th Planet, one and the same"). [20] Sitchin, who died in 2010, denied any connection between his work and Lieder's claims.
3rd Planet: Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the subject of historical misconception for centuries. [4] [5] Earth was never formally 'discovered' because it was never an unrecognized entity by humans. However, its shared identity with other bodies as a "planet" is a historically recent discovery.
Planet X was previously hypothesized in a 2014 research paper. Called 2012 VP113, researchers Chadwick Trujillo and Scott Sheppard claimed that the object never came closer to the sun than 80 AU ...
In 1930, Clyde Tombaugh, working at the Lowell Observatory, discovered Pluto near the location expected for Planet X. Partly in recognition of Lowell's efforts, a stylized P-L monogram (♇) [31] – the first two letters of the new planet's name and also Lowell's initials – was chosen as Pluto's astronomical symbol. [28]
A newfound object nicknamed "The Goblin" lurking in the far reaches of our solar system could be yet another clue that points us toward the discovery of the theoretical Planet X, or Planet 9 — a ...
Planet V, a planet thought by John Chambers and Jack Lissauer to have once existed between Mars and the asteroid belt, based on computer simulations. Various planets beyond Neptune: Planet Nine, a planet proposed to explain apparent alignments in the orbits of a number of distant trans-Neptunian objects. Planet X, a hypothetical planet beyond ...
Planet Nine is a hypothetical ninth planet in the outer region of the Solar System. [2] [4] Its gravitational effects could explain the peculiar clustering of orbits for a group of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs), bodies beyond Neptune that orbit the Sun at distances averaging more than 250 times that of the Earth i.e. over 250 astronomical units (AU).
