Also, when viewed in three dimensions, they tilt nearly identically away from the plane of the solar system. Batygin and Brown show that a planet with 10 times the mass of the earth in a distant eccentric orbit anti-aligned with the other six objects (orange) is required to maintain this configuration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/drgrundstrom.wordpress.com\/180\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/drgrundstrom.wordpress.com\/180\/\" \/><\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.wp.com\/b.gif?host=drgrundstrom.wordpress.com&#038;blog=32473984&#038;%23038;post=180&#038;%23038;subd=drgrundstrom&#038;%23038;ref=&#038;%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caltech Researchers Find Evidence of a Real Ninth Planet This is legit folks! \u00a0For those who are at a university (like Vanderbilt), this press release has a link to the actual research article in the Astronomical Journal. \u00a0It&#8217;s a bit heavy at times but well done.
