LostCosmonaut Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 SpaceX does the usual thing; https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/15/18095633/spacex-launch-landing-falcon-9-watch-live-stream-used-rocket-how-to Also, a few days ago, the first commercial Electron successfully launched; https://www.space.com/42415-rocket-lab-first-commercial-launch-in-photos.html (3rd one overall) Electron can't compete with SpaceX on price per pound; Quote Rocket Lab's Electron looks sleek with its black paint job for It's Business Time. Rocket Lab's Electron rockets are designed to launch small satellites into orbit at an unprecedented pace. The rocket can carry payloads of up to 330 pounds (150 kilgrams) into orbit for $5 million per flight. I believe their goal is to have the total cost of the rocket be lower, and target people who don't want to launch small satellites as secondary payloads on an F9 or similar. edit: loosered by ramlaen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All aboard the hype train! Sedna and Eris are not even remotely similar in size to what Planet Nine is estimated to be, Eris is no where near its predicted orbit and Sedna is believed to have been pushed into its orbit by Planet Nine.

LostCosmonaut Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Planet Nine is supposed to be roughly Neptune sized, even with the most bullish projections for Oort Cloud mass/density it will have cleared its orbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramlaen Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 A team of astronomers has discovered the most-distant body ever observed in our Solar System. It is the first known Solar System object that has been detected at a distance that is more than 100 times farther than Earth is from the Sun. The new object was announced on Monday, December 17, 2018, by the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center and has been given the provisional designation 2018 VG18. The discovery was made by Carnegie’s Scott S. Sheppard, the University of Hawaii’s David Tholen, and Northern Arizona University’s Chad Trujillo. 2018 VG18, nicknamed “Farout” by the discovery team for its extremely distant location, is at about 120 astronomical units (AU), where 1 AU is defined as the distance between the Earth and the Sun. The second-most-distant observed Solar System object is Eris, at about 96 AU. Pluto is currently at about 34 AU, making 2018 VG18 more than three-and-a-half times more distant than the Solar System’s most-famous dwarf planet.
