After searching hundreds of millions of objects across our sky, NASA’s Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has turned up no evidence of the hypothesized celestial body in our solar system commonly dubbed “Planet X.”
Researchers previously had theorized about the existence of this large, but unseen celestial body, suspected to lie somewhere beyond the orbit of Pluto. In addition to “Planet X,” the body had garnered other nicknames, including “Nemesis” and “Tyche.”
This recent study, which involved an examination of WISE data covering the entire sky in infrared light, found no object the size of Saturn or larger exists out to a distance of 10,000 astronomical units (au), and no object larger than Jupiter exists out to 26,000 au. One astronomical unit equals 93 million miles. Earth is 1 au, and Pluto about 40 au, from the sun.
would have saved a lot of wasted time and money for some.

So what's your point? To ridicule people who believes in something?

Sigh...I will bite.
Go on tell us what is out there and how you know this.

No Planet X, Sorry Dooomers

Sorry folks, there's no PlanetX, there's lots of other things out there, and within our realm of reach but no planet X....
Next doom prediction? Looks like Nancy Lieder is out of a job
Both of the WISE searches were able to find objects the other missed, suggesting many other celestial bodies likely await discovery in the WISE data.
“We think there are even more stars out there left to find with WISE. We don’t know our own sun’s backyard as well as you might think,” said Wright.

You should actually read the article a little better next time. Because this is the part the planet X supporters will point out.

This still gives the planet X'ers hope.

I didn't write the article, please direct that to the people that did, i just posted the article..
Not really. If any unknown stars (the word used by Wright), not planets, are found they won't qualify as Planet X.
This still gives the planet X'ers hope.

So BS then...thought as much.
You don't make a claim on ATS and then tell others to find out themselves.
Put up or shut up.
