Pluto was discovered because someone was looking for the "planet" creating a gravitational pull. Pluto just happened to be in the area the man was looking at for this gravitational source. I don't know if the source of the observed gravitational pull back then ever got resolved. (Obviously, Pluto is not massive enough to have a significant gravitational pull.)

I honestly wasn't making a sarcastic remark. The truth is that I understand the reasons pluto was reclassified quite well. I followed the story for a while at the time, and it makes sense. Science is constantly reclassifying to make a more understandable system for communicating ideas and information. OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it is really out there, a lot further then I thought they were talking about. Guess I forgot how far far is! This will be very interesting to follow. You're welcome! I am not sure about it actually being there - they know that something is causing an apparent gravitational shift in the comets, but whether on not it is a planet has yet to be determined. Along those lines - there's actually a whole debate on what defines a "planet". I would venture that if NASA knows more than they are saying it would be because of people like this jumping the gun. It is better to have something concrete before opening one's mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a planet out there and they tell us so, the whole world/will buy into all the 2012 stuff (right or wrong) and go nuts... I would think that even if they know it's there they should keep it to themselves (and I can't believe I'm saying that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
