2015 Roster Freak Out - Week 14

I saw a news story in my Facebook feed today regarding the possibility of another planet in the far reaches of our solar system that got my imagination going. It's intriguing to think about a mysterious planet out there, just lurking in the dark and being creepy.

It's just been watching us silently for millions of years, what a creeper.

For years, astronomers have been searching for a Planet X. Planet X is not just a fun level in Timesplitters 2, but rather a new planet on the far reaches of our solar system. So far, they have found a variety of TNO's (Trans-Neptunian Objects, not Thursday Night Out), so many of which were similar to Pluto that it made sense to demote Pluto from planetary status rather than have school kids try to memorize a bunch of new planets. This new planet, however, is allegedly between Earth and Neptune in size.

As with most stories that pop up in social media, the "news item" is mostly clickbait, and a healthy dose of skepticism goes a long way. Reaction from university astronomers in the Scientific American suggest that the findings are likely rubbish, so let's wait and see what further research finds.

I guess this post is just a public service announcement to say that social media can be fun for stirring the imagination, but don't put much stock in anything you read there. If you need anything else, I'll be listening to the Time Splitters 2 soundtrack.
