I posted the pic in reference to your earlier quip about the weeks pay.
"Your missing the point son(?). I would like to see the pics of the infamous Planet X also known as the 10th Planet which as never been made public. Perhaps your not old enough to remember the anoucement of this remarkable discovery."
I'm old enough to tie my shoes and spell announcement correctly.
Ok, i'm game. When were they taken and by whom. With what. How do you know of their existance if it's such a big secret.
I'll agree that there are some rather anomalous things about the orbit of the pioneer probes, i.e. this.....

Make sure to read it, it's not what your looking for.
Who knows about that diagram. Just because something turns up in an
encyclopedia, doesn't make it scientific fact. I wonder what the rest of the caption says. It could be indicating that the extra planets are speculative, eh? There is no scientific reason to believe that there is
anything besides Pluto class objects out there. The authors could've been playing to the notion of Nemesis, a star that returns to a perihelion every 70 million years or so drawing comets with it to explain periodic
mass extinctions. A theory that has since been replaced with the thought that the solar system passes through the plane of the galaxy
on roughly this time scale.
This tenth planet fella is talking about an orbital period of 3600 years, right? I do miss alot of "remarkable discoveries", but I can't listen to
Art every night.
Just one question Dad, did you buy the book? You did, right? On it's
way anyway... Well, I salute your gusto in defending your purchase.
