Proof They Know About Planet X

What they are saying is that since it is an unlikely explanation for it, that the cause of the eccentricity is still unknown.

Then I would say that they must have one hell of an air conditioner!!! It's hot 2 kilometres down!

Nope, NASA isnt looking for planet x...LoL

Will NASA's WISE Space Mission Prove that 'Tyche' -Planet X- Exists?

In November 2010, the scientific journal Icarus published a paper by astrophysicists John Matese and Daniel Whitmire, who proposed the existence of a binary companion to our sun, larger than Jupiter, in the long-hypothesized "Oort cloud" -- a faraway repository of small icy bodies at the edge of our solar system.

The researchers use the name "Tyche" for the hypothetical planet. Their paper argues that evidence for the planet would have been recorded by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), a NASA mission, launched in December 2009, which scanned the entire celestial sky at four infrared wavelengths about 1.5 times.

It's still too early to know whether WISE data confirms or rules out the existence a large object in the Oort cloud. Analysis over the next couple of years will be needed to determine if WISE has actually detected such a world or not. The first 14 weeks of data, being released in April 2011, are unlikely to be sufficient. The full survey, scheduled for release in March 2012, should provide greater insight. Once the WISE data are fully processed, released and analyzed, the Tyche hypothesis that Matese and Whitmire propose will be tested.

It is likely but not a foregone conclusion that WISE will confirm whether or not Tyche exists. Since WISE surveyed the whole sky once, then covered the entire sky again in two of its infrared bands six months later, WISE would see a change in the apparent position of a large planet body in the Oort cloud over the six-month period. The two bands used in the second sky coverage were designed to identify very small, cold stars (or brown dwarfs) -- which are much like planets larger than Jupiter, as Tyche is hypothesized to be.

WISE was a survey of the entire sky in infrared spectra. It was not a mission to search for Planet X, even though scientists that have hypothesized the existence of Planet X hope that it shows up in images taken by WISE.

The discovery in 1983 and sudden commencement of huge deficit spending like there's no tomorrow is proof enough. The last couple years of trillion dollar deficits was to get the bunkers finished pronto.

That's an article about some uninvolved people who hope that a NASA survey of THE WHOLE SKY will reveal evidence of Planet X. It does not say that NASA are looking for it.

Try again.

Getting WISE About Nemesis

Is our Sun part of a binary star system? An unseen companion star, nicknamed “Nemesis,” may be sending comets towards Earth. Throughout history, such impacts could have had a profound effect on the evolution of the biosphere by causing regular mass extinctions. If Nemesis exists, NASA’s new WISE telescope should be able to spot it.

They may be answering questions about it, but WISE is not a mission to search for a Planet X.

FAQ: Will NASA Settle Debate Over Existence of Giant Planet 'Tyche'?

In 2010, the research group that came up with the Tyche idea suggested that evidence for the planet's existence may already have been gathered by a NASA spacecraft — the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). [Gallery: Photos From WISE]

WISE, which launched in December 2009 and went into hibernation earlier this month, scanned the entire sky in infrared wavelengths during its operational life. WISE may well have picked up signs of Tyche during these scans, the planet's proponents argue — scientists just haven't had enough time to pore over the data yet.

So will WISE observations vindicate the Tyche hypothesis? If so, when? Here's a NASA-provided look at the great Tyche debate and WISE's potential role in resolving it.

When could data from WISE confirm or rule out the existence of the hypothesized planet Tyche?

The first 14 weeks of data, being released in April 2011, are unlikely to be sufficient. The full survey, scheduled for release in March 2012, should provide greater insight. Once the WISE data are fully processed, released and analyzed, the Tyche hypothesis will be tested.

Is it a certainty that WISE would have observed such a planet if it exists?

It is likely but not a foregone conclusion that WISE could confirm whether or not Tyche exists. Since WISE surveyed the whole sky once, then covered the entire sky again in two of its infrared bands six months later, WISE would see a change in the apparent position of a large planet body in the Oort cloud over the six-month period.

The two bands used in the second sky coverage were designed to identify very small, cold stars (or brown dwarfs) — which are much like planets larger than Jupiter, as Tyche is hypothesized to be.

If Tyche does exist, why would it have taken so long to find another planet in our solar system?

Tyche would be too cold and faint for a visible-light telescope to identify. Sensitive infrared telescopes could pick up the glow from such an object, if they looked in the right direction.

WISE is a sensitive infrared telescope that looks in all directions.

Then why is the first article on the WISE site about Tyche

[link to www.nasa.gov]

Because it's the most recent published article about WISE.

derp

And it says:

"Recent scientific analysis no longer supports the idea that extinctions on Earth happen at regular, repeating intervals. Thus, the Nemesis hypothesis is no longer needed. However, it is still possible that the sun could have a distant, unseen companion in a more circular orbit with a period of a few million years -- one that would not cause devastating effects to terrestrial life. To distinguish this object from the malevolent "Nemesis," astronomers chose the name of Nemesis's benevolent sister in Greek mythology, "Tyche."

More Never A Straight Answer from NASA

Double talk...

If Tyche exists, it is Nemesis...

NASA is full of shit and I dont trust a word out of their mouths

...Then why have you been linking to NASA articles in an attempt to prove it exists?

derp

No matter how many articles that you post links to about how scientists think that the WISE images may have captured evidence of the hypothetical Planet X/Tyche, the WISE mission was not a mission to search for the hypothetical object.

Who gives a shit? Go with the odds. Life is all about odds. You play the hand in your favor. The odds are that an EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT will not happen during your lifetime. So why worry about it? Live and enjoy life.

What do you think about us nearing the black hole at the center of the galaxy and then on 12/21/2012 we no longer agree with it's pulling us downward ? We will continue to go downward while the black hole starts working against us.

I realize it seems easier for you to remain ignorant and say silly things because you really haven't even examined the science. You just dont like it so you say it won't happen.

Please go play in the sandbox where you can stick your head back in a hole there.

It's apparent that you havent really thought much about it as you have zero to substantiate your beliefs.

follow the money

Gazmik, aren't you the guy from Fox news in the baseball cap, you know, the "man on the street" who just happened to know on 911 exactly that the towers fell from structural failure due to the fire? Am I right?

Baseless rambling aside, we're a very very very very very very long way from the center of the galaxy. If we were in any danger of being sucked into it then the year and a half between now and 21/12/2012 would make absolutely no difference. If the world was going to end then, or within a thousand years of then, there would already be massive disruptions over the whole planet, several orders of magnitude greater than whatever bullshit 'earthquake swarms' we've been having recently.

But whatever, feel free to keep feeling superior to everyone else based on a bullshit theory you will never be called upon to prove in real life.

statistics is a mere bullshit realm of its own.... statistically we are nothing but dead.


get a life ;) and leave statistical odds of ele out of the game.


an extinction level event will happen exactly during somones lifetime (if you hypothesise there will be humans or animal or plant life on the sphere). if someone still lives then, it will be their lifetime.


so it can be your and my lifetime just as well as anywhere else.


just dont be to sure about odds and statistics as some stray asteroid isnt out of the equation at all as well.


so you can go down any second, no matter how proud you are of your poor little pittied life, how many riches or power you have amassed or if you are just a curious soul who tries to understand this reality a little bit more.



get over it.

And if I may add to my rant; what exactly are you proposing to do between now and the destruction of the planet that you're so sure is coming? Max out a bunch of credit cards and go on a spending orgy? Try to invent some real big engines to turn Earth around? Or just keep posting on the internet in the manner of a homeless man waving a cardboard placard on the street corner?

are they even real?

You fall for any wild-assed speculation that is tossed your way as long as it defies the logical explanation, don't you? It doesn't matter how infeasible it is, does it?

There is no evidence of the mythical "Nibiru" that is supposedly going to pass through the inner solar system in 2012.

It is called hypothesizing and is part of the scientific method.

Yes that view is correct only if you randomly began searching for a magic cheery pie for no reason.

That is not the case in the search for a 'body' which causes certain fluctuations in the solar system which are as yet unexplained.

Look up the meaning of hypothesis and why one is developed.

See the difference?

How do you know it is a myth? What evidence is there for that proposition?
