Massive 'Rogue Planet' in the Outer Solar System? Over 900 Large Objects Beyond Neptune

Massive 'Rogue Planet' in the Outer Solar System? Over 900 Large Objects Beyond Neptune scientists say. The known Solar System can be divided into three parts: the rocky planets like Earth, which are close to the Sun; the gas giant planets, which are further out; and the frozen objects of the Kuiper belt, which lie just beyond Neptune's orbit. Something strange emerged when Scott S. Sheppard (Carnegie Institution for Science) and his colleague, Chad Trujillo of the Gemini Observatory, compiled data for the orbits of Sedna, 2012 VP113 and 10 icy objects that lie close to Pluto. Similarities in the 12 objects' paths around the sun strongly suggest that all 12 are under the spell of a hulking, far-distant planet, Sheppard says. This planet, if it exists, is up to 10 times as massive as Earth and 200 to 1,000 times as far from the sun. It's so big that it has forced the smaller bodies, which like to keep away from large ones, into unexpected paths. This super-Earth may have begun its life in the central solar system before becoming a "rogue planet," ejected from its birthplace to exile in the outermost solar system. It may have pulled Sedna and 2012 VP113 along with it from their homes closer to the sun. From the amount of sky area searched, Trujillo and Sheppard determine that about 900 objects with orbits like Sedna and 2012 VP113 are out there with sizes larger than 1000 km and that the total population of the inner Oort cloud is likely bigger than the Kuiper Belt and main asteroid belt. " Some of these inner Oort cloud objects could rival the size of Mars or Earth. This is because most of the inner Oort cloud objects are so distant that even very large ones would be too faint to detect with current technology", says Sheppard. http://home.dtm.ciw.edu/users/sheppard/inner_oort_cloud/ Scott Sheppard and Chad Trujillo Discover a Dwarf Planet on the Fringe of the Solar System https://dtm.carnegiescience.edu/news/scott-sheppard-and-chad-trujillo-discover-dwarf-planet-fringe-solar-system Dwarf planet stretches Solar System's edge http://www.nature.com/news/dwarf-planet-stretches-solar-system-s-edge-1.14921 New Dwarf Planet Found At The Solar System's Outer Limits http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/03/26/294358647/new-dwarf-planet-found-at-the-solar-systems-outer-limits NASA Supported Research Helps Redefine Solar System's Edge https://www.nasa.gov/content/nasa-supported-research-helps-redefine-solar-systems-edge http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2014/03261345-a-second-sedna-what-does-it-mean.html?referrer=https://www.google.gr/ Clips credit: ESO, ESA/HUBBLE, NASA Music credit: 1) Lightless Dawn by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100655 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ 2) Babylon - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100314 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ 3) Chase - Scoring Action by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100399 Artist: http://incompetech.com/

Spice it up

Thank you for creating something about space that is worth watching.
Most things is mostly conspiracy awkward timeconsuming shit here on Youtube -

Need a narrator here ...........

dude ur on fire keep up the good work

They are conditioning us before the reality strikes,they know whats coming and when,you cant tell me they can know what is on planets light years away but cant see whats in our own solar system?..please..they know.Problem is if they told the general public the truth every city in the world would be looted and in flames before it ever gets here and likely do more damage than the event itself.

Graet work! thanks so much.

In Australia during feb 2008 my daughter called for me to see something weird in the sky at about 4:30 pm in the afternoon, at first I replied that its probably a plane, she replied it was too big to be a plane , I dashed outside and what i saw is beyond belief or comprehension, there was a dark mass in the sky rapidly getting larger and at first i didn't know what I was seeing , then it came into clarity as it got larger , it was an asteroid of unbelievable size moving at unbelievable speed ,within seconds it covered a third of the sky, the afternoon sun illuminated its near side and its underside,it was so close to earth I could see mountains and escarpments and craters, in detail, damm it was near, and it was jet black, like coal dust in texture and did not reflect light like the moon does, for ten full seconds its mass passed over unbroken at the speed of a meteorite , it was all mind boggling and almost beyond comprehension , at one point my daughter asked , 'what is that' and I foolishly replied 'i think its the end of the world, the look on her face made me retract it instantly but thats what I really thought, theres more detail but this is the general outline of events. what I could see was mind staggering and beyond comprehension, had me chilled to the bone and my blood frozen like ice, the whole mass extended beyond vision up and across and the speed was beyond belief for something so massive , it seemed bigger than the earth itself and combining its speed with what mass I could see and the time it took to fully pass which was about 10 seconds I conservatively put its diameter at 100,000 km at least...at least. I have no doubt nasa and the ISS know that this thing just missed wiping out the whole planet. however I never have been able to find a trace or word of it. I know now that the really big bad and dangerous incoming asteroids will never be disclosed to the public. I speak the truth about what I saw despite it being quite unbelievable ..lets face it its totally unbelievable and preposterous that such an object could be seen, near enough to see detail, in broad daylight without more witnesses or any asteroid agency spotting it, but it really did happen.

So the ancients that spoke of Nibiru had it right. That's what I get out of this. That being said they say it's 4-5 times the size of Earth. Is it possible to have a mini solar system within our system? Could the pull of that system cause what we are seeing? Supposedly Nibiru is only a planet within a larger system, which contains somewhere between 4-7 additional bodies.

Q: Given their overall encompassing masses, speed, and orbital planes- could one consider the Oort Cloud and/or the Kuiper Belt to be an "Object" in it's own right? Just as our own atmosphere is comprised of many blended gasses- we call it "Air", and the Earth is many different elements- packed together- we still call it "ground". There is no giant turbine- creating the winds here- maybe the temperature differentials and Solar Winds are enough to cause a "breeze" out there?

Excellent as usual thankyou god save us all

Other( from other planets...) could decide - us to be or not to be...?......Seems so!

Who is the genius behind this channel? I absolutely love his work. What a find here on YouTube

Great work, thank you

We need the doomday machine from star Trek to eat these rogue planets.
