Comment on The Orbit of Planet Nine

Comments

For comparison : Pluto is 40 AU from sun, against P9's 400 AU. 10 times further.

And 6 times mass of earth. Where Uranus and Neptune are x15 of earth.

Inclination 6 degrees are comparable with other planets.

Ah... that will make it very hard to detect even with the largest telescopes, unless we have some specific coordinates.

Makes you wonder if maybe the interstellar space is just filled with tons of these little rocky planets.
