OHM Planet IX (Empanda)

[OrbitHangar]

Author: perseus

Caltech researchers have found evidence of a giant planet tracing a bizarre, highly elongated orbit in the outer solar system. The object, which the researchers have nicknamed Planet Nine, has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the sun on average than does Neptune (which orbits the sun at an average distance of 2.8 billion miles). In fact, it would take this new planet between 10,000 and 20,000 years to make just one full orbit around the sun.

Looks great!! Been looking forward to a Planet 9 addon

planet 9

you know the evidence for a ninth planet is mounting up when Clyde Tombaugh originally started looking for the ninth planet it was because of an unexplained wobble in the suns rotation but Pluto couldn't explain the wobble some thought that maybe the two planets just happened to be in the same part of the sky at the same time and it was luck he found Pluto, one of the other things that was noticed that around every 10,000 years a shower of comets is sent in from the Oort cloud something seemed to be disturbing them and now simulations seem to show that the only way we can have the solar system we have today is to have a super Earth ejected into the far reaches of the system I still think it should be called Nemesis

 

[Urwumpe]

Wasn't the data that led to the discovery of Pluto, 25° away from the calculated position (or 50 moon diameters in the sky), a measurement error in first place?

 

[birdmanmike]

As they found the Kuiper belt object Eris, supposedly bigger than Pluto, and thus demoting it, actually wasn't bigger; some of us fogeys are waiting for Pluto to be reinstated as ninth planet anyway. At least it's real and photographed (forget the somewhat elliptical orbit, it's more regular than a load of old Kuiper). Thus this hypothetical pretender Planet IX would actually be Planet X and maybe Nemesis as above would then be planet XI (or vice versa).

"On the way down, he met the barrel of bricks going up . . ."

Of course this so-called planet IX certainly shouldn't be called Eurydice anyway - Pluto as king of the underworld is/was certainly rather larger than little Eurydice.

I think we should ask Probe

(Anyway, wasn't it something affecting the orbits of Neptune and Uranus, not a solar wobble, that led to belief in a larger planet beyond Neptune? Though only relatively little Pluto was found . . . )

As if 40 km difference should be a difference...

 

[TMac3000]

How about Orpheus?

 

[Lmoy]

I imagine if Planet 9 is confirmed, it will again be named after a goddess, as that seems to be the trend in recent times. My vote would have been for Nyx, but the Pluto guys already swiped that one when they named Nix. My next pick would then be Minerva.

 

[TMac3000]

We could do like they did in Rendezvous With Rama: screw Greek, it's tapped out. Name the new one Vishnu

 

[Lmoy]

Huh, I'd never heard of Salacia. Yeah, I changed my mind, that's a much better pick.

 

[Kyle]

Caelus would be my pick, after the roman God of the Sky.

 

[Lisias]

Demigods by demigods, I would pick a local indigenous one: Curupira. Given the weird orbit of the body, the name appears to fit. Curupira is a nature defensor that plays (hard) tricks on anyone that doesn't respect the forest.

Note the inverted feet!

empanda is way to close to empenada, which is what i originally read in my early morning weariness when i clicked this topic XD
