Have you heard the news about the potentially tenth (or ninth) planet?
They theorize that it is about the size of Mars :^)

Have they given it a name yet? Do they know how far away it is? Do they know how long it takes to orbit the Sun?

@Bottomschmackenloudenboomer: ~55AU away. Literally at the edge of the solar system. And they're not sure if it's legit. They've observed wonky orbits in the Kupier belt, and since that was how Neptune got discovered they just said fuck it and called it a planet.

@AnnoyingAf: What do they mean, not sure if it's legit? What space laws are there for it to break?

@Bottomschmackenloudenboomer: They haven't seen it. They're just observing fucked up orbits and theorizing that it might be a planet with a mass equivalent to Mars. It might just be a random phenomenon.

@AnnoyingAf: Oh, in that case nobody really knows if it is a planet or not. I'll accept it as a planet when it has been officially proved to be a planet and with no movements or properties that justify any description using the R-word. If it's been described with the R-word it is not legit in my eyes.
