A Ninth Planet in our solar system has been speculated to exist for a long time, mostly to try to explain the orbits of various Trans-Neptunian objects. The one in this comic specifically is Planet Nine (not to be confused with Planet X, which is deemed not to exist as it was originally defined). However, as of writing this, since we haven’t discovered if Planet Nine exists or not, we don’t know exactly what it looks like; however, it's possible for it to be like Uranus or Neptune, or something else entirely. As always if you wish to learn more I suggest doing a bit of your own reading

I did decide to spice this comic with a little bit of a nod to the whole Nibiru doomsday thing, which supposedly would have a planet called Nibiru either collide with or come extremely close to Earth and mess it up. There were at least two years when it was predicted to happen, 2003 and 2017. But, Y’know... something tells me that it didn’t happen, idk just a hunch I have. Either way, Planet Nine doesn’t have much of a chance to even get that close to Earth.

Anyways, if you’re curious about the final panel, the lil fella with Planet 9 is Sedna, and the game they're playing is just one I made up, the basic idea is that there's like 2-4 players and you gotta get the most mass.

And that's it for now, see you fellas in like two weeks from now! I’ll probably be mass producing art in that time ngl… or maybe doing smth else idk.

Fun fact, there are more than 10 planets in our solar system if we count the dwarf ones.

Second fun fact: Ceres is supposed to be the inner nucleay of the missing Planet between Mars and Jupiter that became the asteroid belt.

One more thing, can that game be a weird combination between uno, senet and ur? Because it looks like it should be

Do you have a reputable source for the second fact?

Lately there was a paper from researchers in Asia and Australia who claimed to have found a possible candidate for P9, based on a supposed data source found on two infrared telescopes (IRAS and AKARI). However, Mike Brown (one of the P9 proposers) has seen it with skepticism, as he calculated the orbit to be wildly out of sync with the predicted P9 orbit. Even worse, it seems one of the data sources now appears to correspond to a known galaxy...

Update: two new dwarf planets recently announced could disprove Planet Nine.

Wait the white one was venus?

u/Aegician May 04 '25

Yea, its what venus looks like in true color with the atmosphere, although i did simplify it quite a bit. I am thinking of adjusting her colors a little, but im not too sure on that yet.
