A small team of planetary scientists from the California Institute of Technology, Université Côte d'Azur and Southwest Research Institute reports possible new evidence of Planet 9. They have published their paper on the arXiv preprint server, and it has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

    Wouldn’t we then confuse it with Pluto’s moon? Imagine a family of poor future Solar system travellers realizing they got the tickets for the moon, not the planet.

          Yeah but this aren’t planets. We could always just reuse the name Pluto. Then all the old books are right again.

            That’s Pluto erasure. Pluto isn’t a planet but it’s damn well part of our solar system.

          Kerberos and Cerberus while referencing the same thing are spelled differently.
