Even anti-Earth can't hide behind the Sun all the time, Paine!

It doesn't exist.

As for Vulcan? DA, you just might be pinning your hopes to
a pipe dream. Don't you think that the position of Vulcan
based on its possible influence upon Mercury has been being
followed precisely ever since the mid 50's when Dicke started
raising hell? And alas, no physical planet has yet to show up
in that mythical planetary orbit within the orbit of Mercury.
Don't you think it would have been found many years ago if
it does indeed exist?

Vulcan, like Wormwood, doesn't exist, Paine and DA.

No planet can hide BEHIND the Sun. It will be seen at times, yet has
never been seen.

Tholen is wasting his time. Astronomers who waste time in that way
are declared NUTJOBS!

Astrologers LOVE invisible planets! It's there, you just can't see
it! Nothing hides from IR detectors.

BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's what i said, Saul, Vulcan can't exist or it would
have been discovered by now. As for no planet hiding
behind the Sun, Venus, Mercury, heck, several planets
sometimes hide behind the Sun.

You seem to be thinking of, not Vulcan, which was
supposed to be going around the Sun in its own orbit
just like the rest of the planets, but only nearer to the
Sun than Mercury, instead you appear to be thinking
a modern version of the "Counter Earth", also called
"Antichthon". The modern version would be a planet
that lies in the exact same orbit as Earth, but on the
opposite side of the Sun. Planet Krypton of Superman
fame was also orbiting on the other side of the Sun in
Earth's precise orbit before it was destroyed.

The thing that does it for me is knowing just how exact
and precise the measurements must be when planning
an excursion to the Moon or Mars. The Phoenix, for
example, would have missed Mars by a country light-
hour if there were a planet Vulcan, simply because the
scientists who plotted Phoenix's path from Earth to
Mars did not allow for the gravitational effects of a
planet Vulcan!
