Small icy trans-neptune object in high ecliptic, very eccentric orbit, counter directional orbit.
So it was captured from inter-galactic space? I mainly like this theory because it'll force Bayesian Astronomers to re-calculate the density of inter-galactic planetoids.
I guess we can discuss multiple Neptune/Uranus like ice giants orbiting at the fringes of the Sun's gravity. But wouldn't that seem to violate Occam's Razor?
- throwanem 10y agoInterstellar, perhaps?
- mrec 10y agoI'm guessing they were going for "ecliptic" rather than "epileptic", too...
