    I think you're stating the obvious as if it were not obvious. A basic understanding of celestial mechanics is enough to understand that the tilt of the sun is in reference to its axis of rotation.

    True, there is a choice of reference points - as I pointed out - but it's arguable whether that much detail was called for in Paddoboy's context (there's bigger fish to fry re: Niburu), and I don't think Pad was remiss.

    Either one understands that the sun's tilt can be measured, or one does not.

    True, I speak as someone who does not spend much time on astronomy. It was certainly not obvious to me that spin was being referred to, until I read the article.

    NASA has confirmed the planet X sooner or later will be detected.

    References? Provide a link to something other than woo, why don't you? And lose the fucking bullshit while you're at it.

    At least the thread has been moved somewhere more appropriate..

    Good luck. I consigned him to Ignore many months ago - along with the The God, DMOE, MR and sundry other trolls and jerks. I must say I feel a lot better for it. Each to his own, I suppose.

    Like you said, each to there own.
    I've apologised a few times for heated dialogue I have gotten into with that bunch, and I am sincere. I also believe that nonsense/quackery and outright lies, need to be refuted. So for me it's easier said then done. What JC said about turning the other cheek is difficult for me.
    At this time though, I'm starting to ignore one of those jokers you mentioned,[ actually two

    ] due to there apparent "modus operandi and general trolling that is obvious to most" in trying to drag others down in the mud/cesspool with them.
    I do that by posting reputable articles that show the quackery spouted by them for what it is, without actually quoting them.
    The insults, accusations and adhoms, do not affect me, but I do believe that quackery and pseudoscience should be exposed.

    Are you drunk? Usually you can spell and use proper grammar, if I remember.

    Unless it's all cut-and-paste...

    No one is questioning the possible existence of a Planet 9: [note, possible]
    What is in question is the silly claim by the Saint in the OP and subsequent posts that that a Planet X or Nibiru, was heading towards the inner solar system and on a collision course with Earth, or at least to disrupt catastrophically the inner solar system. That is pure bunkum.
    This was also detailed at post 14 thus........................

    That's what I found too.

    And I noted the particular point:

    "This is not, however, the detection or discovery of a new planet. It's too early to say with certainty there's a so-called Planet X. What we're seeing is an early prediction based on modeling from limited observations.

    See the interesting thing , on the NASA SITE ;

    Planet X , 2016 latest update nibiru and Planet -X

    Both entirely different , observations

    No, nothing has been observed as yet.
    And as detailed in post 14, yes two different things. the Saint was obviously supporting the silly mythical aspect of Nibiru, which as I said is pure bunkum.

    Planet 9 as it has been dubbed, is still being researched, based on orbital parameters of other objects.

    Yes there has pad

    A giant planet in our outer solar system.

    Now try to get more info. on this planet -x . there is none .

    No it hasn't been observed as yet river, sorry about that.
    All that is happening is that some anomalous orbits of planets and such, may indicate another planetary body further out.
    Very hypothetical at this time, at best and certainly nothing has been seen.

    Caltech researchers have found evidence suggesting there may be a "Planet X" deep in the solar system. This hypothetical Neptune-sized planet orbits our sun in a highly elongated orbit far beyond Pluto. The object, which the researchers have nicknamed "Planet Nine," could have a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbit about 20 times farther from the sun on average than Neptune. It may take between 10,000 and 20,000 Earth years to make one full orbit around the sun.

    "The possibility of a new planet is certainly an exciting one for me as a planetary scientist and for all of us," said Jim Green, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division. "This is not, however, the detection or discovery of a new planet. It's too early to say with certainty there's a so-called Planet X. What we're seeing is an early prediction based on modeling from limited observations. It's the start of a process that could lead to an exciting result."
