PLANET X UPDATE: Scientist Search For NIBURU Amidst CMB From Big Bang
Hot on the heels of the annoucement in January that there was now evidence supporting a yet unseen planet, Planet Nine, we are now finding out just how the best and brightest are intending on narrowing down the hunt for the planet many, myself included, are dubbing NIBURU/PLANET X!
First up is Nicolas Cowan of McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He and he team have come up with the hypothesis that to find this may be easier than first thought – we should hunt for radio signals that the planet itself is emitting!
Radio waves? You mean T.F.R. is booming out on Niburu?
Well, don’t get to excited, it’s not quite as woo as that, but it’s definately interesting (from a geeks point of view lol).
The reason we are yet to see it is due to the distance from the Sun and the fact that so little light reflects off it. If this planet is out there, and it is the size that was predicted by Kanstantin Batygin & Mike Brown, 10x the mass of the Earth, then it should still retain some small trace of the heat from its very formation!
Neptune & Uranus are two examples of planets that do just this, and with this knowledge scientists can now search for millimeter-length radio waves, in a similar way to the experiments that observe and monitor the CMB – Cosmic Microwave Background. It’s the fact that they are hunting in this way, for such a specific signature, that means we may already actually have the data that shows Niburu/Planet X/Planet Nine already due to the amount of telescopes and experiments dedicated to the CMB in the first place.
It may just be a case of a team of astronomers somewhere already holding the key to its location, and in the mean time, scientists at the south pole can narrow the search by using the data from Batygin & Brown to search on specific parts of its orbit.
Talking of Mike Brown, you may remember I included him in the article concerning his discovery, and I find it’s always good to remind people this is a guy that loves himself for killing of Pluto’s “planetary status”.
When people talk about “hubris”, Mike Brown’s photo should appear by its definition in the dictionary!
He even calls himself @plutokiller on twitter! Whats interesting is that if he hadnt killed Pluto, this would have been Planet Ten. Ten in Roman numerals is what? X! He would literally have announced the discovery of something that us conspiracy analysts have faced ridicule for mentioning in the past.
There is another competing idea out there on how exactly we can search for the precise location of this mysterious unobservable planet. Agnes Fienga of the Nice Observatory in France and her team have been going through swathes of data from NASA’s Cassini mission in the hope that it my unearth the needle in this cosmic haystack.
Cassini is the NASA probe that has sent back data from Saturn and its many moons for over 10 years now. Astronomers are using radio-ranging data coming from the probe to build a model of the motion of the all the large bodies out there in the solar system.
Fienga and her team included the data from Planet X and fed it into the model – this ruled out approx. half of the speculated orbital path, narring the search by half!
The again look for pulling, perturbation on the other known bodies out there to do this.
Finally, this is where we can go back to the woo, sort of, kinda, because Cowan suggests we should name it after the recently deceased pop-star David Bowie. The announcement of its discovery coincided with the release of Bowie’s last, parting album, Blackstar!
He wants to name it “Bowie”, but unfortunately for him, the naming of any new planetary bodies goes to the International Astronomical Union and they say that although a nice idea and tribute to a pop-idol that often referred to the stars, the recognised and preferred option is to go for something that refrences ancient mythology.
What did Cowan have to say about this….
“I guess you could argue that maybe he is a mythological creature” speaking of Bowie.
Blackstar may be more appropriate for the unseen giant.
