Planet 9: Meet Our Solar System's 'New Pluto'
Possibly 5-10 Earth masses with an elliptical orbit of between 9 and 30 billion miles.
Could be interesting. Imagine sending a probe there - a thirty or forty year mission using conventional technology.

I'm wondering what of our present satellite/land-based tech we can use to pin this down further.
I got pretty excited about the initial rumblings that either there's something small near Pluto's range, or something bigger much further away a few weeks ago, but this work coming out of Caltech is another step up.
(Unapologetic nerd, this stuff is utterly cool)

I agree - I am a full on space/astonomy junkie.
Me three.

So you guys ARE saying there is a giant planet that orbits the Sun but has so far not been seen by us.
Is this the so called (elusive!) Nibiru ?
It supposedly will pass by close to planet Earth sometime in the near future ? It must be traveling really fast to just 'brush past us ' quickly !
Are all the ancient planet Earth's "GODS" living on that planet ?
THAT would be cool ! We should all be very excited !
Another thought. If this is so , humans will discover that they have been idolising and praying to another 'mere mortal' ! That wouldn't be correct. So they will start a NEW religion and prop up ANOTHER virtual GOD. Fascinating things can happen !
The future looks even more exciting ! Imagine meetings with 'ancient Gods' at conferences and eating meat and drinking wine ( they never got to beer or hard liquor before leaving planet Earth long ago !) . Hmm....
