I'm trying to convince the scientific community to call planet 9 "Tantalus:" son of Pluto and always just out of reach; pretty good, right?
I like it!
What's funny is that there's an element called tantalum. During the period when new elements were being discovered in the 19th & 20th centuries a lot of them were being named after planets (Uranium, Plutonium, Neptunium, etc...).
No.
Let it have it"s own identity unrelated to pluto.
Sol-less
I think we should call it "The Dude"
"Known as Planet 9"

In 1997 in school I learned about a possible "Planet X" (for 10 when pluto was still a planet) and that its discovery was "Just a few years away" so they have been looking for it for a long time and I'm still waiting.
Yet some how our boy Simon finds a way to jazz it all up. I really admire how exciting it all seems. And like he mentioned evidence has been mounting since 2016. Good on him.
Pluto is still a planet.
I remember when they "found" planet X. I think it ended up being one of the dwarf planets past Pluto, but idk which one
If I recall, even before they found Neptune, they already suspected it wouldn't account for the error in Uranus' orbit, and another larger planet must exist even further out. An additional single body alone could not cause the complex deviations that had been observed. While some of those earlier estimates were later debunked, the evidence still leans towards an additional massive object which isn't accounted for.
Well tecnically, if we still consider pluto a planet, they did discover 4 others since (the dwarf planets of the Solar System: Ceres, Eris, Haumea and Makemake). Still, it's kinda funny that they told you they would discorver a new planet in a few years, and instead they removed a planet from the classification in that time.
I keep getting so happy when I find more Simon channels.
how many are there?
I still love the fact that we can study planets millions of lightyears away, see galaxies and stars billions of lightyears away, literally glimpse into the past with our incredible technology.... and we still can't determine if there's a 9th planet in the Kuiper belt after all this time lmfao

Thumb in, always.
Makes me think of the theory of Nemessis in the 1980s and early 1990s, where Nemessis was supposed to be a stellar companion of the Sun orbiting it in ~26 000 000 years. It would be so far that it would resemble a normal star, around magnitude 12, with a very small proper motion, and small enough parallax (although larger than the parallax of Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbour star) not to be visible unless accurately measured. It would have been one the ~1 000 000 stars of that brightness in the sky, but no one knew which one, and at that time it was unfeasible to measure 1 000 000 parallaxes. Now that Gaia measured accurate positions and parallaxes of 1 700 000 000 stars, we know for sure that Nemessis does not exist.
Yes, I remember reading Raup and Sepkoski's papers more or less as they came out. (I should check the speelungs, but it's not worth the effort.) One paper they saw a 26 Myr cyclicity. The next revision, similar methodology, bigger data set - 11 Myr cyclicity. Next revision : 40 Myr cyclicity.
That is the sign of pulling noise out of noise. There is no signal worth extracting there. They had a perfectly reasonably hypothesis, they tested it against the data (at least 3 times) and found that the data does not support their hypothesis.
Feynmann had a more succinct way of describing such results : "wrong".
Nibiru!!!!!
@@plotholedetective4166 Or even, "no Buru". There are probably things that far out in the Solar backyard, but nothing like "Niburu" as described. For cataclysmic effects on the Earth - they're undetectably small, if they exist at all. Which is not most people's understanding of "cataclysmic" - for this geologist, they barely rise to the level of "slightly interesting".
I did a project on "planet x" in grade school in the 90s. This has been an idea for a long time

@@AtarahMata This is why you shouldn't do drugs, kids.
@BrianWelch-vc7xy Dude's right about people believing in "Nabiru" since God knows when. Simon sells it as if we're just now beginning to think of a large planet on a hilariously long orbit, but that's far from the truth.

The planets name should be Nibiru to owe credit to the Babylonians and Assyrians who discovered it. And knew its orbit was weird also. I don’t know how they did it but somehow they did. A lot of their achievements have been attributed to others so we should owe respect to them and not re write history to suite our own interests.
Them just claiming Planet Nine is real doesn't mean they are accurate. We're talking about a pair of ancient societies, they didn't discover planet nine. They couldn't even see it.
@Aliyah_666 ehhh...they may have been able to
I have to admit, I'm rooting for the black hole hypothesis. Think of the research opportunities something like that would provide.
Downside is, finding it in the first place would be extremely difficult and would require a completely different set of methods for detection, involving trying to determine the object's orbital trajectory and then looking for microlensing events that match that orbit.
A black hole close to Uranus? Too... Many... Jokes!
A black hole with the same mass as the Earth would have an event horizon less than an inch across. We'd be most likely to find it based on the effects of its gravity on other orbiting bodies.
@itchDoctorDotCom
Except it wouldn't be the same mass as Earth. If you were actually paying attention, Planet 9 is supposed to be around 5-15 Earth masses.
Granted, that still puts it around the size of a baseball, but that does mean its lensing effect would be significantly larger than if it was around the mass of Earth.
@@VestedUTuber either way, the most obvious indication of its position will be it's gravitational pull on larger objects that are easier to see.
I've been focused in on planet 9 episodes of "How the Universe Works" for years and this has been a really well done update. The prospects of finally discovering another planet is fascinating.
it is planet X. or, our 10th planet
@@rickmoore4776 The X in Planet X just means unknown, not 10
I, like you, have been fascinated by this subject, and I will always think of it as Planet X until/if it's discovered. I don't care how many planets there are, it's Planet X and I take umbridge with anyone daring to change it now to planet 9.

@@rickmoore4776 there’s that old chestnut of boomer confident incompetence. “X” refers to the variable X, not the numeral ten. It’s not planet ten, for starters, as we have MORE than nine planets. Pluto is a dwarf planet- and so are several other celestial bodies in our solar system. This means we have at least twelve planets. “Ten,” doesn’t fit into the model by any metric, previous or current.

imagine planet 9 is a planet that got ejected from another solar system and its like earth in size and one day we find it and send a probe to it and find a lost and dead ancient alien civilization that got doomed from the flyby of our solar system 500 million years ago, that would be a pretty epic discovery

Love the Uranus jokes Simon. Cheers.
You wanna know where he got them from?😏
Love the Mondas reference.
Simon has way to much fun with Uranus and I'm all here for it 😂
And he didn't even ask for my permission!
Who told you that? HOW DID YOU FIND OUT?
@@bandit5875 Just had a suspicion but your response just confirmed it...
We could always use the extra company
The only issue is that for Planet 9 to be able to sit that far out, it not only would have had to be flung out there by the various gas giants, it also had to have something circularize its orbit out that far so that it doesn't dip back into the solar system.
That being said, I think I have an answer. I was messing around in Universe Sandbox and managed to get a Planet 9 like ejection, and then decided to chuck a small red dwarf past the system on a trajectory that kept it away from most of the system but had it hurtle past the inside of the ejected planet's orbit. Low and behold, this actually gave the planet a boost, lifting its periapsis far enough out so that it stayed clear of the rest of the system. So it's possible a small red dwarf, brown dwarf or rogue gas giant passing through the very outer reaches of the solar system could have condemned Planet 9 to its frozen fate.
I’m starting to think that Simon is an AI generated bot because it’s hard to believe a real human can have this many channels and put out this many quality videos so frequently.
I’d love an outtakes video, consisting of just clips of Simon having a laugh at all the Uranus jokes 😂
Simon loves talking about Uranus
Zechariah Sitchin...author of a book called "The 12th Planet" is a controversial writer who used translations of the writings of the ancient Sumerians to theorize that an object the Sumerians referred to as "Nibiru" is a planet that exists beyond the orbit of Pluto (which, according to the Sumerians was once one of Saturns moons.........) and its orbit is once ever 3600 to 4200 years. It has 4 moons. 😁 "Nibiru" actually means "crossing", and people have 2 theories: One is that the "crossing" is actually a wormhole (black hole?), allowing "crossing" over from one dimension to another, or "crossing" refers to Nibiru's orbital path thru the solar system.
Absolutely no proof.

I think finding a rocky world would be more fascinating than a sub neptune world. Not only would it be amazing to map its surface features, but there is a chance we could land a probe on it at some point.
It would start a new space race
Would be fascinating. But new space race? No. There’s plenty of other rocky/solid stuff in the solar system we haven’t even touched yet. And getting anything to Planet 9 would take a loooong time. It takes about 9-12 years to get to Pluto.
@chrism1503 there would be nothing else like a super earth in the solar system though. In the decades it would take to send a probe, we could probe all the other worlds in the system
@@rowshambow if we find a solid platinum asteroid or something, that'd start a new space race.
@@chrism1503 A new terrestrial planet would absolutely set off a race to get it. Probably even at astronomical costs. If anything, the discoveries made by New Horizons would just increase the determination to get there within a human lifetime.
0:20 - "the first new addition to our cosmic family in living memory"
You do realise that Pluto was only discovered in 1930, right? And Xena (Eris) was discovered in 2005?
If there is another planet out there, I say we name it Grundle since it's so close to Uranus..
As far as I remember, the prospect of a "9"th planet was already discussed in the 80s or even earlier. In an ALF episode, this was referenced when he helped build brian a model of a solar system, adding Dave and Alvin as planets to the list.
I was excited for PlanetX, but a year or so ago, a researcher showed that the orbit of those trans-Pluto worlds could have maintained those orbits even after PlanetX left the solar system altogether.
Of further note - I've been following Mike Brown for some time now; and, Mike Brown has gone missing for years now. He's either very busy on PlanetX, or he's retired!

@@J30YLK I was missing 2, thanks for this
Hate to break it to you, Simon, but Leverriere got lucky. When Voyager 2 passed Neptune in 1989, NASA was able to perform a much more accurate determination of Neptune's mass. They found that it's mass was less than anticipated and could not account for the "perturbations" of Uranus that supposedly led to Neptune's discovery. Reviewing the data from that time, it was found that the supposed perturbations of Uranus were actually errors in observation.
I am certain the object is in fact a big clump of all the socks that have gone missing from earth throughout history. That would explain both the great mass, and why it's impossible to find.
Don't forget the missing biros!

But the strangest thing about this quest to find the ninth planet is we already discovered it years ago. It’s called Pluto.

It’s not the ninth planet. Pluto is and always will be the ninth planet.
Pluto is my ninth planet and I shall die with it as my ninth.
There are exremely good reasons why Pluo is a minor planet, not a proper plane.

It’s Nibiru on a long elliptical orbit. It’s where the Anunnaki came from. Everytime it comes round in long time orbit, it disturbs Earth CATASTROPHICALLY and causes massive destruction, floods, volcanism, and mass extinction. Our long time nemesis
I remember when this was discounted as a 'conspiracy theory' for quacks and crazies decades ago when people pointed out the Sumerians listed 10 planets in the solar system, with a massive tenth planet on a long elliptical orbit. Funny that XD

Ed Wood knew about this in the 1950s! (Planet 9 from outer space!).
A while back I read a few articles where some astronomers and astrophysicists proposed that planet 9 could be a small brown dwarf star.
Was watching this video with my girlfriend, I asked her if she wanted to play space exploration so that I could probe uranus...she giggled and then told me to grow up.
..yes, but, the entire scien-bro-fic community is fascinated to know.. did you indeed launch a probe, and did you manage to land astronauts?
Whatever Planet 9 may be, I'm confident the IAU will find a way to ignore the opinions of planetary scientists, listen to what is essentially the scientist equivalent of an angry mob, and classify the object as anything else other than a planet.
Stay strong, Pluto. We are keeping your seat warm for you.
When we visualize the objects circling the sun, we picture the orbits as always being on the same 2 dimensional plane. I understand the physics of why the objects will coalesce at the point in which the centripetal force will be greatest, but at large distances it seems unlikely that they will all settle along the same plane. A comet is a good example. Comets don’t follow the same plane because their orbits are very elongated. So it may be a reasonable thing to say that a planet with an elongated orbit may also be following an orbital plane that isn’t exactly the same as the first 8 planets.
You're well over half way to explaining why trans-Neptunian objects have several populations - the "classical disc", and you've just described the "scattered disc" of TNOs.
Pluto is and will always be the 9th planet, as far as I'm concerned. The new planet should be known as the 10th. Astrologists or whatever they're called, at the time of this stupid decision, had nothing better to do, sooo... there ya go. Stupidity. Pluto is the 9th planet!
I don't appreciate the Coca Cola product placement, that should be marked as sponsoring. Good video though.
So they finally found Niburu.
Yep
This needs to be it's official name.
Yep. We know exactly where it is. I can step outside with you tonight and point to where it is. We found it.
Pluto and Eris should be planets 9 and 10. That is where I am drawing the line. They both have moons. The other dwarf planets are considerably smaller.
The planet's name is Nibiru, home of the #Annunaki. When it gets close, the earth undergoes apocalyptic changes. This was known to our ancestors, a warning passed on as oral history and religious mystery. But modern science is just now catching up.
😂😂😂
I'm still pissed about Pluto. The video you showed with all those Sheldons raising their hands and not having a clue where their funding comes from ... grr.
Here’s what makes no sense. How does the astronomers have all this information and not point the JWST in the direction? It has the capability to see such objects and nobody can find it? I call BS
The Uranus jokes were mandatory!
I found them to be a bit.... assinine.
13:43, it is perhaps not so much friction, but tidal distortion that creates the heat. A moon in an eloptical orbit is encountering varying gravitational forces, which causes it to flex, and it is that which creates the heat,
Planet 9 should just be called Pluto
You can crap in a box and mark it Pluto, but that doesn't make it a planet.
Dude, they've been talking about a Planet X since back in the Art Bell days.
But then, they talked a lot about shadow and lizard people too so whatever.
Should that planet exist, we should call it Platos, after Plato and his cave, just like the idea of a real object in the cave was conceived through teh shadow, this potential 9th planet was perceived through its (mass) shadow.
Not a single mention of nibiru huh.
No mention of those ancient texts describing a planet with that 11,000 year orbit?
