Just lurking a little.Hello Lurking DadHowdy TR.... I'm wore out. Monday was doctors appointments. Wednesday the TV was delivered (more new technology to learn, ugh...!) Today, we spent all morning at the hospital so my wife could get a heart scan, Doppler or something like that. And I just finished up the lunch dishes. Friday is babysitting. So now I'm going to try and figure out how to turn on this new tv and hopefully watch a movie. On a good note, I do have a 5 pack of Room 101's that are to arrive today.new HD TV, you need to watch a Blu-ray disk, over an hdmi cable. I hate those folks who buy a high scan multiple lines of resolution TV, and want to know why the yellow cable from their VCR doesn't attach anywhere. I have the Blu-ray player, and Hdmi cables, but I don't own a Blu-ray movie yet. My Dish service is old and only supports the red, white, and yellow cables, so you can imagine how that looks at 60"..... My outside antenna picks up 1080p which looks great, and Netflix looks pretty good too. But so far I don't think I've seen any 4k yet. My Blu-ray is supposed to upgrade to 4k, so I still need to check that out too and see what happens.

Guess we have our telescopes focused too far out, no wonder we keep missing these asteroids that keep sneaking in....not to mention the invading alien spacecraft....I think you answered your own question - because it's by theory. It's a big ass sky up there, lots of area to cover.The orbital period for Planet Nine would be approximately 10-20 thousand years, and it's a long way out. The difficulty is locating it against the star field. The reason they came up with the hypothesis is that something out there is causing some objects in the Kuiper Belt to have identically peculiar orbits. A planet would do it, so now they're looking for a planet.Morning, muchachos.From the orbital drawings I've seen, it visits inside the orbits of the rest of the solar system. That should be fun!Funny, they used to call those "comets"

I'm going to go and make some brownies and play with the tv.. bbl (maybe)

Stopped for some beer on the way home, got a 6-pack of the Beer Camp Tropical IPA and some Wake n Bake. Needed supplies for the weekend snow
