Once again, astronomers believe they may have discovered a ninth planet, not dwarf-planet.http://www.caltech.edu/news/caltech-researchers-find-evidence-real-ninth-planet-49523

Your link is broken on mobile or something. How far out is it relative to Pluto?

> The object, which the researchers have nicknamed Planet Nine, has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the sun on average than does Neptune (which orbits the sun at an average distance of 2.8 billion miles). It would take this new planet between 10,000 and 20,000 years to make just one full orbit around the sun.

There is no system in place to name new planets.
This is the same team that made Pluto a figment of a Planet.
They are stuck calling it the 9th planet until someone comes up with a way to name it.

Brown notes that the putative ninth planet—at 5,000 times the mass of Pluto—is sufficiently large that there should be no debate about whether it is a true planet. Unlike the class of smaller objects now known as dwarf planets, Planet Nine gravitationally dominates its neighborhood of the solar system. In fact, it dominates a region larger than any of the other known planets—a fact that Brown says makes it "the most planet-y of the planets in the whole solar system."

If they put it up for a vote, I'm getting the bots ready to name it Minnie.

Mike Brown who wrote "How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming " and is on the team that discovered the new 9th planet. His daughter wants to name it Pluto
So perhaps Pluto II

It's long been hypothesized that there was a massive object out near the Kuiper belt, so real surprise about this. But, no. We're naming it Minnie.

Having interacted with MC Minnie and number of times. This wood be an insult to this massive object.
I think you are referring to Planet X which as I remember it proved to be not - Anyway lots to discover about this yet to be seen planet.

What if it is, in fact, the harbinger of death and brings about global cataclysmic events? Ice ages are on planetary orbital timelines, fuck global warming. This thing is going to suck the spot off Jupiter and the rings off Saturn.
A planet that ends life as we know it needs a good name.

the planets will align shortly all thirteen of them and this will create a power that will rip the earth apart
