New Evidence of a Mystery Object on the Periphery of Our Solar
System
An astronomer at Caltech says that new evidence has been
discovered that indicates that there is a massive planet lurking somewhere on
the outer edges of our solar system. It has been dubbed "Planet
Nine," but that is only because Pluto is not considered to be a planet
anymore.
If we included Pluto, this new astronomical body would
be known as "Planet Ten" or "Planet X," but scientists try
very hard to avoid using the phrase "Planet X" because it is
associated with so many "conspiracy theories."
Based on the new evidence that has emerged, it is
believed that Planet Nine is approximately 20 times further away from the sun
than Neptune is, and it is being projected that it would take somewhere between
10,000 and 20,000 years for this planet to make one trip around the sun.
Perhaps due in part to my legal training, I have always
been skeptical when it comes to things like this. Whenever anyone has tried to
tell me about Planet X in the past, I have always wanted to see proof. And of
course, solid proof regarding Planet X has always seemed to be in short supply.
But there was a big change in that regard during the
month of January. The following comes from the Independent:
Objects have been spotted moving around unusually at
the edge of our solar system. And the best explanation for the strange orbits
is the mysterious Planet Nine, according to one of the scientists who has
argued that the hidden planet exists.
In January, a pair of scientists argued that they had
found another planet, based on calculations using objects at the distant end of
our solar system. By studying the orbit of six objects in the Kuiper Belt—a
mysterious area thought to be filled of (asteroids) and other icy objects—they
argued that they were being affected by something large and previously unknown.
At that time, scientists were telling us that this
newly discovered object was likely 10 times more massive than the Earth.
So we are definitely not talking about some small piece
of rock.
Now, astronomer Mike Brown of Caltech has come forward
with new evidence that this massive planetary body exists. The following comes from the Daily Mail:
Last week, Mike Brown tweeted a photo that shows the
plot of a newly discovered eccentric Kuiper Belt Object (KBO).
In the post, Brown wrote: Hey Planet Nine fans, a new
eccentric KBO was discovered. And it is exactly where Planet Nine says it
should be.'
The KBO in question is 'uo3L91,' shown with a solid
blue line in the graph. Brown writes that the slide comes from a recent talk at
the Seti Institute.
This discovery was made from an Outer Solar System
Origins Survey (OSSOS) on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, according to a
subsequent tweet.
Of course, it is still too early to say anything really
definitive about this new object.
There are still plenty of skeptics, and back in January, NASA refused to confirm or deny that this new
planet even exists.
In a YouTube video, Jim Green, director of planetary
science at NASA addressed the new findings.
'The Jan. 20 paper in the Astronomical Journal is
fueling our interest in planetary exploration,' Green said.
'Stimulating a healthy debate that's part of the
scientific process.
'It is not, however, the detection of a new
planet. It's too early to say with certainty that there's a so-called
'Planet X' out there.
He pledged NASA experts would take part in the process
to try and find it.
Personally, I would not be surprised at all if it turns
out that there are numerous large objects out there the public does not know
anything about right now.
For years, there has been rampant speculation that an
astronomical body known as "Planet X" would soon approach the Earth
and cause unprecedented natural disasters. Many of these predictions that have
included specific dates have turned out to be false alarms. But that doesn't
mean that something like this will not eventually happen someday.
The following excerpt from an Inquisitr article summarizes what some people believe about Planet
X:
According to conspiracy theorists, recently leaked
secret NASA "Planet X" files reveal that the agency is aware that the
gravitational influence of Planet X had disrupted the orbits of other planets
during a previous passage into the inner solar system hundreds of years ago;
and that the next disruptive passage into the inner solar system is imminent.
The approach of the mysterious Planet X is currently
sending waves of charged "plasmatic energy particles" through our
solar system. The flow of energy will finally disrupt the "core
flows" of the Earth and trigger catastrophic changes in Earth's climate.
We have been feeling the disruptive effects of the
inbound rogue Planet X since 1996 in the form of increased seismic and volcanic
activities, freak weather patterns and natural disasters.
I don't know if any of that is true or untrue.
But what I do know is that the Bible tells us that
there will be "signs in
the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars" just prior to the return of Jesus
Christ..
Will some giant astronomical body play a role in
causing those signs?
I don't know.
However, without a doubt, I will continue watching for
new evidence of unusual things happening in our solar system.
And
it is true that heavenly bodies can have a tremendous influence on our planet.
Over the past few years, I have detailed how earthquakes, volcanic eruptions
and other natural disasters have been increasing in number and intensity. How
much of this activity can be attributed to forces outside of our own planet is
certainly up for debate.
So what do you think about all of this talk regarding
"Planet X"?
Just like you, I am still learning. And so far, I
haven't seen any solid evidence that an encounter with a giant celestial body
known as "Planet X" is imminent, but it is entirely possible that I
could come across something tomorrow that could completely change my mind.
Are
you struggling with a big decision or wondering how your eternal future will
play out?
Why
not talk to the God of the universe and let Him work in your behalf?
He
says, “I will instruct you and teach
you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you" (Psalm 32:8).
Ask
God to show you what to do. Pray the following
prayer:
“Heavenly Father,
I
admit that I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from you. I now want to
turn away from my past sinful life and begin a new life with you.
Please
forgive me. I now receive your Son, Jesus Christ as my Savior, my Master and my
Lord. I believe and confess that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and
rose from the dead.
I
want to receive all that Jesus Christ has provided for me as my Savior. Your
Word says, "Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord
shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).
I
believe and confess that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and
no man comes unto the Father, but by Him.
Lord
Jesus, I pray and ask You, to come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I
thank you that you have given me eternal life, and according to your Word, I am
born again.
Heavenly
Father, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit that is in me now. I
surrender my life to you. Use me for your glory.
In
Jesus Name. Amen.”
“My Faith Has Found a Resting Place”
E. E. Hewitt
lyrics
1 My faith has
found a resting place,
Not in device nor creed;
I trust the Ever-living One,
His wounds for me shall plead.
Not in device nor creed;
I trust the Ever-living One,
His wounds for me shall plead.
Refrain:
I need no other argument,
I need no other plea,
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me.
I need no other argument,
I need no other plea,
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me.
2 Enough for me
that Jesus saves,
This ends my fear and doubt;
A sinful soul I come to Him,
He’ll never cast me out. [Refrain]
This ends my fear and doubt;
A sinful soul I come to Him,
He’ll never cast me out. [Refrain]
3 My heart is
leaning on the Word,
The written Word of God,
Salvation by my Savior’s name,
Salvation through His blood. [Refrain]
The written Word of God,
Salvation by my Savior’s name,
Salvation through His blood. [Refrain]
4 My great
Physician heals the sick,
The lost He came to save;
For me His precious blood He shed,
For me His life He gave. [Refrain]
The lost He came to save;
For me His precious blood He shed,
For me His life He gave. [Refrain]
