I am interested in finding out more about this phenomenon. I am an
astronomer, and have seen no evidence whatsoever that there is a
Planet X at all, and indeed there is copious evidence that suggests
there is no Planet X. However, I am researching this idea so that I
can write about it, and this seems like the logical place to do it.
I'll read Mr. Hazlewood's book as well. I have made it, well, more
than a hobby but less than a career, to look into astronomy-based
myths and misconceptions.
I have seen a few errors stated here, and I try to correct errors
when I find them to the best of my ability. I want to make sure that
if people are going to make decisions based on the available data,
then they have the best data available.
Just an observation. But why are those of you who don't believe in PX, coming to this site? If you think it is all hog-wash. Why continue to frequent the...
