Fellow Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 What do think, is there yet any possibilities to discover big unknown celestial bodies in our solar system INSIDE the orbit of Pluto. What if for example there was a planet same size as Pluto, but nearer the Sun, whose orbit plane was 90 degrees from other planets plane. I don't know how this kind of planet could have been born, but could it be not yet discovered.

Noshi Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Theres this formula that is unknown how it works, but it give a good idea where planets exists, this foun the asteroi belt, and it can explain all the planets we have and there distances from the sun, so a planet within that is unlikely, also because the gravitational effects would probably have been noticed, and found...
