Re: OT: And Then there were Ten
Its been years but if i remember right there was an astronomer who had used a mathmatical model to predict the the existance of 9th planet, back when there were only eight located ( ithink uranus and neptune where found the same way) , but when pluto was found it was smaller than what was predicted, hence the on going hunt for a tenth planet. the equation envolved gavitational influences, and pluto didn't fit the bill, right orbit (more or less)but gravitaionally,to puny.
