While some start to dig out the "The End is Near" sign others take a more 'scientific approach. "Planet 9 takes shape: Newfound planet in our outer solar system simulated Date: April 7, 2016 Source: University of Bern Summary: Astrophysicists have modeled the evolution of the putative planet in the outer solar system. They estimate that the object has a present-day radius equal to 3.7 Earth radii and a temperature of minus 226 degrees Celsius How big and how bright is Planet 9 if it really exists? What is its temperature and which telescope could find it? These were the questions that Christoph Mordasini, professor at the University of Bern, and his PhD student Esther Linder wanted to answer when they heard about the possible additional planet in the solar system suggested by Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena." www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/04/160407092944.htm
