Planet Nine redefined orbit

[vpontin]

Recent news showed seems like Planet Nine is smaller and closer than previously thought.

So my question is: can someone make a refined SSC for this new scenario?

We could, but we just need to find orbital parameters.

We already done it.

But is this the original orbit prediction or the new one of the links?

This is what our team to find in recent publications.

Thanks! Will adapt this ssc to this idea. Just need to find a snowball earth-like texture to it.

[Art Blos]

Will adapt this ssc to this idea.

I have never read about such a theory. The planet may be Super-Earth, but certainly not a copy of our planet. On the moons to speak at all prematurely.

In fact i just throw a scenario on that subreddit (its all about hypothetical scenarios and the impact on society and science).

Anyway here is my take on this fictional P9. Sadly the textures are bad, i got them on google because i dont have photoshop right now:

[selden]

You don't have to use photoshop. There are many free paint programs which can generate jpeg, png or dds images.

I like paint.net for Windows. Many people use gimp, which is available for Windows, MacOS and Linux.

[vpontin]

Yeah but i dont know much to use GIMP...

Does this update in Dec 2018 include the hypothetical planets, like Planet 9?
Or is it for the next update?

Yes, include.
