Does Planet 9 Exist?

A planet has been predicted to orbit the sun with a period of 10,000 years, a mass 5x that of Earth on a highly elliptical and inclined orbit. What evidence supports the existence of such a strange object at the edge of our solar system?
Huge thanks to:
Prof. Konstantin Batygin, Caltech
Prof. David Jewitt, UCLA
I had heard about Planet 9 for a long time but I wondered what sort of evidence could support the bold claim: a planet at the very limits of our ability to detect one, so far out that its period is over 60 times that of Neptune. The planet 9 hypothesis helps explain clustering of orbits of distant Kuiper belt objects. It also explains how some of these objects have highly inclined orbits - up to 90 degrees relative to the plane of the solar system. Some are orbiting in reverse. Plus their orbits are removed from the orbit of Neptune, the logical option for a body that could have ejected them out so far. The fact that the perihelion is so far out suggests another source of gravity was essential for their peculiar orbits.

    • If you rewatch and listen to exactly what they say, they don't actually have opposing views. They're scientists, they will defer to the evidence. It's just that 1 of them is optimistic, because he's actively looking for the planet. The other is neutral and merely speaks to his more limited knowledge of the subject. The optimist still calls it a hypothesis and the neutral guy acknowledges that it could easily exist, it just hasn't been found yet.

    • I believe that the greatest scientists were the ones that were able to try things they were excited about, regardless of what other people said was ,,logical", even if they weren't yet 100% sure whether it worked or not (unless it would end deadly of course). We were born with creativity, not just with a logical sense, so why not combine both? It often takes creativity to make theories of course, but if the scientist relies on his sheer logical will, he'll not utilize his full potential. And of course, the other way around, it can be a huge waste of time and energy to follow the urge of finding something out you are obsessed with, but at the end, regardless of effects that make us see things we want to see, there is always a logical base behind something a scientist is obsessed with. With some scientists I just feel like their obsession with everything being 100% logical and in the same sense comprehensible made them lose the thing that makes us humans special.

  • I'd actually continue the trend of naming them after Roman mythology and call planet 9 Proserpine. And it would make sense the same way all other planets were named. First of all, Proserpina was a wife of Pluto, and as we know Pluto isn'tn't a planet 8,5*. Proserpine was also a goddess of the underworld (spends its life in darkness, so does planet 9), and also a goddess of sprouting grain, and this would reference our sprouting knowledge about space and our own system. Proserpine was also actually Persephone but taken from Greek mythos, renamed, tweaked a little and set into Roman mythos, and Persephone (Proserpina) was kidnapped by Hades (Pluto). This last one would reference the facts that a)Pluto was supposed to be planet 9 but then the scientist said nah, and b) its even further away and it rarely visits the rest of the system.

And of course a box of random old electronics items that once upon a time were useful to have around. :D I love it. Visiting or seeing offices of scientists around the world makes me feel very much at home because they really feel very familiar and relatable, just like the ones I've known for a decade. Maybe it's their mindset of sticking to proven methods :D

The evidence thusfar is not sufficient to say that Planet 9 exists - and as the math gets better at some point we should get a specific coordinate to spot it. On the other hand, it sounds like it would solve a lot of problems all at once, and the space for it to exist within the current model exists. It sounds conspicuously absent - but that's not enough to say that it exists.

To be a planet you need to orbit a star (as opposed to moons which orbit planets), you need to be round (sufficient gravity to get round), and you need to clear your own orbit: Pluto hasn't done the last one, it's too small to shoo away the other planetoids. Additionally, it's smaller than Eris - another Planetoid in our solar system. Pluto is only 17% the mass of our Moon, and Eris is only 22% of our Moon: they're both pretty tiny - and way smaller than the Planets.

    • The reason why it is so much harder is because we are able to detect exoplanets based on the effect they have on their parent star. If one passes in front of it, we see this by the brightness of the star decreasing very slightly. We can also detect exoplanets by looking at how they affect the parent star’s velocity towards and away from us by looking at the Doppler shift of light from the star. For planet 9, there is no star to use to measure the planet’s influence and we instead can use only dynamics (mostly numerical calculations I believe, such as N-body simulations, to estimate where it could be). This is much more difficult, hence why we can find exoplanets but not Planet 9.

A good public speaking instructor will tell you to say, "Thank you for asking" or, "I'm glad you brought that up." It gives the same positive affirmation without a value judgment on the question itself. Also, that dude is just way too repetitious. You need to find alternative ways to say it so that you don't sound like a broken record.

  • What I believe is that there are many other far objects with orbits oriented in those other ways, but they just don't happen to be close enough at the moment to see. These kinds of objects like Sedna orbit too slowly to see at all different points along their orbits. We can imagine them stuck at a random spot on their orbits. They are only close enough to have had the potential to have been seen in this brief time by this new humanity in a small sliver of their orbits near their perihelions. We would not have seen Sedna if it had been somewhere else in its orbit when humans invented telescopes and started looking way past Neptune. It would have been too faint and small to see and this is probably the case with many more objects. The null hypothosis that these objects just happened to be like this isn't insignificant, either. 1 in 500 is understandable. There are other logical reasons for the allignment, like tides from close encounters with stars and stuff having affected the orbits of these distant objects most vulnerable to tidal disruption. Also, 7:52: Have they considered how unrealistic it would be for a Planet 9 to have stayed in such a big orbit for two million millennia by pure chance? I mean, tides would mess it up pretty easily.
