Nonexistent Planet X

Beyond Uranus and Neptune deep in the outskirts of the Solar System lies an unknown large object. Irregularities have been occurring between the two blue-sister gas giants and that may be known as Planet X. A satellite-telescope has been launched last week to detect the heat from where this unknown gravitational pull is coming from. Including the Pioneer spacecrafts that are about to pass the orbit of Pluto. For the next six or seven months the satellite-telescope that was launched last week will detect infrared, that is invisible to the human eye, and will take a wide-range survey of the sky. That would then hope to find this object that pulls on Uranus and Neptune including others such as interstellar clouds, asteroids, etc. Astronomers have not had a serious search of the sky since 1930 when the ninth-planet Pluto was discovered.
Astronomers did witness behavior in the orbit of Uranus and that began a search of an outside-unknown planet. They then discovered Neptune and that halted on what they thought was the cause of the irregularity in the orbit of Uranus. William H. Pickering and Percival Lowell, two astronomers, in the late 19th century said that a larger object outside of Neptune had to be the cause of the irregularity of Uranus and not Neptune because it was too small. So they predicted the size and approximates of which lies beyond our Solar System that Lowell called Planet X. A quite time later at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff an Astronomer the name of Clyde W. Harbaugh discovered Pluto. Only Pluto being the fifth of the Earth’s moon they proved that it couldn’t be the cause of Neptune and Uranus orbit behavior.
Dr. Thomas C. Van Flandern, an astronomer at the United Stated Naval Observatory, confirmed that a sing...

...t happen. The Internet is filled with a sea of hoax and it’s always going to stay that way with people making it up. YouTube is really popular at that. Some think also that the “government” is trying to cover it up
I personally do not believe in Planet X and I think it is the most outrageous claim someone can believe in. Ignorance and gullible is what I call that. I have some friends that think it’s real and really thought a planet called Nibru was going to crash into our planet and we all were going to die. I even had one pointing at Sirius and they were saying it was Nibru. The truth is that we detected something that was outside our Solar System and we thought it was a planet. Now with further evidence Planet X is nonexistent. If there were another planet in our Solar System heading towards Earth, the orbits of our eight planets would be all screwed up anyways.
