Check this out…another vacuum cleaner to protect the Earth to some degree from large objects hitting us.

John Matese and Daniel Whitmire from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette claim there's a giant planet four times larger than Jupiter with rings and moons orbiting it hiding in our solar system that has never been seen before located in the Oort Cloud that forms the outer shell of our solar system. How can this be? You never know what can happen next it seems.

They claim the data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer proves its existence and it only needs to be analyzed. Cool….

While the possibility is intriguing, there's been no planet discovered. There's a theory that some object may exist way out there, some 5,000 years of travel time at the speed of the fastest probe we've sent to date. There's some data that may or may not lend credibility to the theory. And there's some news sources that have overclaimed what the researchers have said.

Yes!! I agree. .... Nothing is proven yet...

This one requires some caution, in all....

However the fact that planet-like bodies ARE "out there" is a possibility that MUST be watched carefully...

Thanks for the alert on this!!!

I think someone needs to check the definition of "discovered".

The media loves!! .., the word Discovered,

Because it is so open in its meaning and use... It becomes a great hook for any story ... and that's what they are looking for, sensation in a news story... ...

That's another that might be examined... story....... :lol:
