    If you are camping in a mountain and you have a fire, and there are lights in a city nearby, it is easier to see cars in that city with binoculars, than to spot a marble a few hundred meters away from the fire. The problem is that you rely on reflected light., and the car in the distance reflects more light than the marble near you. And on top of that you know the car is passing near a city light because you spotted the light first and the car is around. But with the marble you do not know where to look at.

    • @mdesnica
      @mdesnica หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      If a planet is N times the distance from the sun than earth, it gets N^2 less light than earth. When that light travels back to us, it is N^2 times weaker (approximately), hence it is N^4 times weaker (where 1 is earth radius).

      @Atlantean Trismagistus I mean, it's all pretty obvious when you think about it. Only aliens had the magical powers needed to build the pyramids, for example. Mythological and folkloric accounts of magic make perfect sense if you consider that knowledge of such things were brought to Earth by visitors from other worlds. The reason modern science doesn't accept "magic" to be a real thing is simply because that technology was lost when the aliens left Earth.

    The reason why we found exoplanets before Planet X is the detection methods used. We find exoplanets by looking at a star and measuring the light it gives off. If there is a rhythmic dip in light level, there most likely is an exoplanet revolving around that star. We simply cannot do that with Planet X because it revolves around the same star as us

      At 10 Earth masses a planet is definitly gas covered but not not a true gas 'giant' a term used to refer to Jupiter and Saturn. Rather it would likely be like Neptune and Uranus which are called Ice Giants because they are actually composed mostly of water and amonia ice.

      If Planet X was in exactly the same orbit as the Earth but on opposite sides of the Sun then they would never be seen by each other. It's not hard to understand that. But if you don't understand what I'm saying I'll make it easier for you.
      Stand by a large square building and ask someone else to stand at the opposite corner to the one you are standing on and then take 12" steps to the left at one second a step and you do the same, you would never meet because you would never see each other.
      It's the same for Planet X and Earth on opposite sides of the Sun.
      No one knows about Planet X, if it, indeed, it actually exists because no one has detected it. But Astronomers have detected an anomaly that is interfering with the obits of the known Planets, they don't know what is doing it but something isn't quite right because their figures are not adding up the way they should.
      But you missed the joke. Planet X, the tenth planet. X for Roman Numeral TEN. However, Planet X (i. e. 10 ) if found, could still be the 9th Planet since Pluto is not a planet anymore but if Pluto was renamed as a planet then Pluto would become Planet X the 10th Planet. It's a complete Mind fuck when you think about it. So don't think about it. It's easier that way.

    Seeing this again prompted me to consider other possibilities..including, if it's really that far off..it's orbiting might have just been broken off..and it's gone....
    I haven't heard anyone else suggesting that, but surely, I'm not the only one to think of it.
    Also, I'm sure I have heard of the suggestion, that it's a "DARK MATTER OBJECT", explaining how it goes unseen, and still has the effects people suggest that it does.
    Run with this and see what it gets you.

      Uranus is certainly a planetary controversy... on one hand it is not recognised as an object of substance... on the other, one would suggest it is an underestimated object that deserves recognition.
      I postulate that the classification of Uranus should be recognised as a planet from the sun and not declassify Uranus as a celestial body of lesser significance by volume and popularity

    Gonna throw out a a possible explanation and my theory for a Grand Unifying Theory linking relativistic and quantum physics. The Higgs field generated by matter(mass), which slows time and thus creates the effect we know as gravity (established special relativity) also has a relativistic relationship with statistical expression of Quanta (wave/particle information packets). In the absence of a Higgs field, a quanta field of probabilities expand and this expansion stretches space, causing space between galaxies to accelerate while the galaxies are able to hold themselves together. Even within the solar system, the difference in the Higgs field between interstellar space and solar space produces this additional “gravitational” effect.

      Nah get outta here with that conspiracy joke the actual scientific answer it is either a Blackhole too close to detect or it's orbit is in a literal Blind spot and it's influenced by something massive outside of the Solar system (Likely a Blackhole) that causes its orbit to Fluctuate wildly. Basically we can't Find it with the methods we use to find closer Planets like Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Saturn, ECT because it is too far and has a funky orbit, and we also cannot detect it with longer range equipment because it's too close to use the methods we use to detect farther solar systems and Galaxies. The reason as to why it's definitely somewhere is due to us being able to detect the Gravitational shifts it causes.

I wonder if it could be as close as intra-Mercurial , in an orbit 90 degrees to the plane of the Solar System.

    I think I put the Planet X hypothesis as more likely than the primordial black hole idea. Some say it's most likely the combined gravitational forces of all of those millions or billions of probable objects out there. But a large planet would be so dim and so small to our view as to be basically impossible to detect. But the lovely thing about science is that as more evidence is collected, competing theories and hypotheses can be ruled out. And that narrows down the search for answers, and that eventually leads to knowing what we're looking for and finding proof. If there's a really big rock or another Ice Giant out there, one day we'll find it or we'll know it's something else causing the weirdness.
    Until then, I'm falling in line with the most likely explanation - the combined mass idea. But will be open to hearing more evidence and look forward to new ideas put forward.

    Something to note about the transit method. It only works for planets in near-orbits. It captures planets crossing the star after looking for months to a few years. Its not very useful for discovering planets with distant orbits. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have orbital periods of decades to centuries.

    Part of what may hamper a visual search for P9 is its "albedo". This is a measurement of what percentage of the light striking a body is reflected back out into space by that body. For example, the earth reflects (on average) 43% of the light that strikes it, so it is said to have an albedo of 0.43.
    If P9 has a very low albedo (for example, if it has a dark matte surface), then it may not reflect enough light back to the inner solar system to be detectable by earthbound telescopes.
    It may be that P9 might only be discovered by launching spacecraft to distances beyond 600AU, then turning their cameras and hoping to capture P9 transiting our home star.
    (Of course, if it's a super-dense object rather than a super-massive one we'd probably only discover it if one of our spacecraft passed close enough to it to have P9's gravity deflect it from its projected course...)
