| The Fury said: Bam! Learn something new every day. I would like these guys to backup their claim still 'We just haven't seen it yet'. is just like trying to get them famous before they are famous. Find this (10th) planet and then become famous, not the other way around. |
There's no point in keeping this to themselves if the observations and calculations are sound. This thing is extremely far away even when closest to the sun. Since humans started looking at the sky and taking notes, it's done 1/3 (or so) orbit around the sun only.
If it would be a brown dwarf it would still emit a lot of radiation which we would easily detect I think, so it's probably not.
They shared this so the international comunity can start looking for it with telescopes while double and tripple checking their data and math. The chances of actually seeing it (not necessarily in visible light), increase a lot if more eyes are looking right?
