This guy, Mark Hazelwood, claims there is a 10th planet in our solar system with a 3600 year orbit thats inbound, will cross Earths path in the spring of 2003, it's comming! it's taking names!

Now I remember reading about the possibility of a 10th planet or brown dwarf that might be just outside the solar system perturbing the orbits of Neptune and Uranus, and of course I've read Sitchins ongoing jibber jabber about Planet X or 'Nibiru' and now I can't remember which was real astronomy and which wasn't. Anyone know anything about Planet 10??

Rogue rouge whatever it's fixed.

Great! Now I won't have to worry about losing
my house in this damned "recession" as we continue
to give all our jobs to cheap H1-B visa workers..

There's no evidence that I've seen that there is any "tenth planet", and there certainly can't be one a year away - it would have to be inside Jupiter's orbit already. There are +/- 200 well-observed "Kuiper Belt Objects", of which Pluto is probably one, out past Neptune, but they are much smaller than our Moon, and in currently-stable orbits anyway. I'll bet Hazlewood's sister is the three-breasted intern Bill Clinton just hired, too.

And to think, I was just about to make some long-term investments with all of the money I'm stealing from American workers . And buddy, I ain't cheap either.

IS this guy another <a href="http://skepdic.com/velikov.html" target="_blank">Immanuel Velikovsky</a>? If so i would highly doubt any of his claims (more so given the fact that they were announced on Art Bell of all places. And, though i love listening to the wing-nuts he gives air time to i cannot understand the world they dwell in).

As for a 10th planet, <a href="http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/questions/question4.html" target="_blank">this</a> might help shed some light on your question marduck. The site is geared towards younger kids interested in astronomy and i often recommend it to children i know who are interested (not to say your a child here...to cover my ass).

There is also <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/science/wonderquest/2001-07-25-planet-10.htm" target="_blank">this</a>.

And, there is <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/planet991007.html" target="_blank">this</a> related story and
<a href="http://explorezone.com/archives/99_10/07_new_planet.htm" target="_blank">this</a> one too.

Finally (although i have many more on this links on this subject), there is <a href="http://itss.raytheon.com/cafe/qadir/atenth.html" target="_blank">this</a> page which is a bit more comprehensive than the other links i provided.

As for "art bell' related site, check out <a href="http://xfacts.com/x2.htm" target="_blank">the following</a> site. I read a bit of it but not with any real attention so i may have missed any redeeming qualities it may possess that would seperate it from the "art bell" category.

I'll shut up now.

Maybe I should go to Canada and get an H1-B visa so I can get a better job...

Poor George W.!!! First he breaks treaties and tries to get funding for defense against rogue nations. Now he's got to defend us against rogue planets, too?
