Thank you Konstantin for providing such an engaging, fascinating, and humorous presentation regarding planet 9. I have really enjoyed hearing your interviews about planet 9 via audio, but had not watched a presentation previously and now have an exponentially better grasp on your theories because of the visualizations provided here. Keep at it and I look forward to hearing your name over the coming years and decades and am confident your work will land you in the annals of planetary science history.

Great presentation! I really enjoyed it.

[@mesample1705]

I watched this lecture after watching Mike Brown's lecture, Konstantin's project partner. which includes descriptions of a constant language difference struggle. Their partnership and friendship must be joyful. Their project a beautiful example of analyzing the last decade's astronomical data, making predictions, and with existing instrumentation, they are looking for confirmation. I sympathize with the individual having the office which separates these two at Cal Tech.

Thanks for an interesting and thoroughly enjoyable lecture.

[@huntster1701]

Fantastic lecture, and humorous too!

[@katim2644]

This shit sets my mind on fire! If only I were young. I remember sneaking into the university in town to look up peer-reviewed papers, as a junior high schooler, using a card catalogue. If only women of my generation weren't only taught how to keep a cheque book and cook beef stew. What I wouldn't give to be in Dr. Batygin's class. You guys are so blessed beyond belief! I didn't have a choice, but you do. Don't let me down!

[@susanh695]

Kat I M I totally agree with you to never stop learning. I study college lectures and Konstantin Batygin is a favorite educator of mine. Have you tried Coursera? You can download Coursera from Google Play. Mike Brown has a lecture series on our solar system it is so useful. I would love to sit in their classes but my home is in Florida.

Planet 9 or Planet X or nibiru is out there and it comes around to the near earth elliptical orbit every 3.600 years and is Due to come back in 2036 or 2046 something like that it’s coming from behind the sun but should be able to know for sure that it’s there soon.

[@normawaller785]

People its true i heard about this planet 6 years ago nobody believed but here it is. My daughter goes on tik tak. And shoes pictures of this thing shows of on her camera on her phone. You can see it in a clear sky she points the camera st the sun and you can see it plain as day try it you'll see it yourself. Please get your heart right with JESUS we don't have much time left ask Jesus to come into your heart. And to forgive you for all your sins. Ask him to be the lord of your live . When you do this you will be born again. And will go to heaven. To be with him for eternity. A lot of people will die when this planet comes by the earth. God bless and trust the lord all the way.

[@zioo3117]

1) Does magnetism (gravitational pull) vary with the temperature of the heavier elements? (Also something to do with density). 2) Now I know how sometimes, when I get a bolt cross-threaded, as it heads into the engine block, it has everything to do with Planet 9. I appreciate having made this determination on the basis of planet 9. What are the odds that any other star/planet system are just like ours. It is pretty cool that Planet 9 can be determined to be the reason that our sun has a 6 degree inclination, or whatever those degrees off of Zero. Some one told me that every thing is in the Orion Constellation. AF

This could explain the polar reversals every 500,000 to 700,000 years, the magnetic North Pole moving into Siberia & everywhere else, global warming as a result of the loss of our Van Allen Protective Shield. Taking all the planetary & solar angular planes in computer analysis Will indicate where to look for the approach of Planet Nine.

[@GhostDrummer]

Ok, I barely understand anything math and science. Science wasn’t difficult, but in a private homeschool program, I never had science classes; just some text books on basic science, no experimenting or anything hands on. Math though, math was always a challenge...but not challenging. I know, that may not make a lot of sense. Math was a constant struggle because I didn’t have teachers for each subject. Anytime I needed help, I would be told to figure it out. I’m not ignorant about math; I know the basic functions of math, I just never was able to grasp it. I don’t think I’m dyslexic, but the textbooks I had to use would have a page of simple instructions and examples, which got me started out ok, but as soon as that little sample page was done, the following pages exploded into massively complex problems that the previous examples didn’t explain. I simply could not grasp any of it. But looking back on my life, I’ve discovered that I have always been a hands on person. As a kid I would tinker and take things apart and reassemble them. Most jobs were all hands on training. Never attended college or trade schools, but I’ve worked in hospitals, dialysis clinics, surgery centers, diesel mechanic, and ultimately LE where I was medically retired in 2013. Now, I’ve had extensive training for LE, but honestly, I just took a test, was 6th out of 250 applicants, got hired, and then after 8 months working off in house training, I was sent out for classroom and tactical training. I taught myself to play the drums, kind of learned the piano, bass/acoustic guitar, singing, mix sound, and pretty much anything music. Learned how to wrench on cars out of necessity more than desire due to not being able to afford a repair bill. Learned how to fix things around my house for similar reasons. I know I’m not the only one who’s done the exact same thing...but my point to all of this is, had I been taught by people such as Konstantin, I most likely would have been able to grasp math.

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

I can accept how the position of a new planet can be found from the perturbations of the orbit of the previous planet - but what were the techniques, so long ago, for _measuring_ the perturbations of the previous planet. It's not as if it did an orbit in the meantime - it only moved a little bit, and in that small distance, they already had determined where it was vs where it should have been. How?

[@aresmars2003]

If planet nine have aligned the eTNO over billions of years, and then say another star "captured" P9 from the solar system, how long would it take for the eTNO alignment to destabilize? (That could be a reason we've not seen it, if it was lost 10 million years ago for instance.)

Looking for planets with a telescope is now obsolete. For a hobby though I guess it is OK. Find something else to do with your time but then again it is your time. We also already have colonies on other planets. I thank you for taking what is a dull subject for me and made your talk interesting.

[@yourhealinghome8812]

From the perspective of an interested bystander, (factory laborer) it seems to me that the Orbits of these distant bodies are responding to the entire solar system as a point source of gravity as one of the foci of their orbital elipses. Could there be another field of gravity drawing the many elipses of their orbits to that region of space where their other foci seem to gather?

Dude, join an astronomy discussion group on Reddit or a good university or wherever, so you can meet intellectual peers online and contribute to knowledge.

One thing I noticed in your simulations, that you kept the orbit of Planet nine constant. it's orbit must be deviated during 4.5 billion years? If Planet nine deviated or affected the orbits of other bodies then other bodies must have had affected the orbit of planet nine because of large solar bodies or planets like Neptune?

[@Erkynar]

Chetan Patil The co-author of the paper, Mike Brown, comments on that in one of his talks, in the Q&A part. It should be in the suggested viewing queue.

[@kev.6149]

Chetan Patil great comment. If you think of where Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are in our solar system. In theory they are in the wrong place. At the beginning of our solar system the Hydrogen and Helium cloud which made up our Sun and gas planets started in the centre of our system. Why are these gas giants now the outer planets? Pretty much all the solar systems which have been found have these gas giants very close to their sun. Something put our gas giants into the outer orbits. Planet X?
