Is Planet X fiction?
Hello list,
I was wondering if anyone out there knows of Planet X? It appears to me as though most say it's a myth. I'm no astronomer, but was wondering....if there were some form of planet, comet, or mass out there coming towards or near the earth, would our astronomers/scientist be able to see it a long ways off? Could it be possible that something could get past our seeing it through scopes? If something were sited, would it be in the news? Any replies would be appreciated, Paul |

Yes, it is fiction and not very good fiction at that.

The only way I could see a "Planet X" actually existing is if it
were on an extremely elongated orbit, much like a comet. Its period would have to be in the thousands of years which would make it visible only during short periods of our history.

The term "planet X" is used IF there is observational evidence hinting at the existence of an as of yet undetected body. Though it was thought that such evidence existed up through the 1980s, that evidence was itself found to be in apparent error. Today, no more such evidence exists so as far as astronomers are concerned, it is a nonissue. That does not mean such a body does not exist. It simply means there is no circumstantial evidence implying such existence. |

You may wish to review some of the basic science and then re-read Sitchin and note some of his more "interesting" comments. ---Mac |

Unfortunately, you have apparently not read any of the very serious
criticisms of Sitchin's books. There are considerable problems with them. RM "Drs. Nixan" wrote in message ... I was wondering if anyone out there knows of Planet X?

RM Yeah, and one problem is the Annunakis' (supposed) use of humans as slaves to mine gold for them. If they've got technology capable of superluminal space travel, why in the heck would they need slaves for anything? oc |
