SHOCK CLAIM: There are 397 planets in OUR solar system, says top space expert

THERE are 397 planets in our solar system, a space expert sensationally claimed.

Jerry Stone, from Spaceflight UK, has launched a campaign to reclassify Pluto, where frozen water has been discovered, as a full planet.

Ever since the discovery of Pluto in 1930 there were nine planets in the solar system – the others being Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

But in 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) at its 2006 conference in Prague stripped Pluto, the smallest of them, of the title creating the dwarf planet status, by a slim margin of 206 to 199.

The controversial decision was made because a number of similar-sized “objects” to Pluto were being discovered and critics of the decision say official astronomers were struggling to keep on top of them so tightened up entry requirements into our solar system’s planet club.

 

As of October 1, scientist M. Brown had identified a list of a total of 384 new objects in our solar system likely to be big enough to be dwarf planets – and therefore planets according to Mr Stone.

  • OK. These new claims of new planets are probably due to recent developments in the solar system combined with mankind’s inability to distinguish these developments from natural orbital planets.

    The new bodies arent planets in the sense that the rest of them are. There are still the same number of planets in our solar system but as of recently there are new ‘bodies’ that have arrived from other densities or dimensions.

    These bodies are conscious living beings the same as regular planets but they do not orbit our sun and they are not physically solid planets like Earth.

    They are here for a specific purpose and they will leave at some point in the future.

    What we are witnessing here is man’s attempt to identify and classify recent events in our solar system.

  • And by the way has anyone checked the constellations lately? Notice anything strange?

  • Yes, I’ve seen a ‘strange’ looking constellation lately…Looks just like a Fender Stratocaster…Maybe Jimi is decided to come by & see to it that more of us become “experienced…not necessarily stoned, but beautiful”…Imagine everybody seeing that…Remember…You find what you look for.

  • if moons are counted as planets then maybe its possible, billions+ of solar systems out there too .
