| The same old question returns: "is there a 'secret' planet 'hiding' behind Neptune"? Actually, it was very common back in the 80s, for NASA to speak of a tenth planet, also known as 'Planet X': "On June 17, 1982, a NASA press release from Ames Research Center officially recognized the possibility of "some kind of mystery object" beyond the outermost planets. Various press releases around this time confirmed that scientists were indeed looking for the infamous Planet X. For instance, Astronomy magazine published an article in December of 1981 entitled 'Search for the Tenth Planet', and another article in October of 1982 entitled 'Searching for a Tenth Planet.' In addition, Newsweek covered the story of Planet X on June 28, 1982 in an article entitled 'Does the Sun Have a Dark Companion?' This article implied that the tenth planet actually orbits a two sun (binary star) system, but we cannot see the other sun because it is a 'dark' star." READ ARTICLE | |
