Hubble... not done yet.

No. Just no.

What a contribution.....moron!

An ape can say no with hand signals. So impressive.

I think the point is that a black hole isn't a planet. Certainly would be newsworthy if one were found in our solar system, but let's use the correct terms.

So what? Either would be a significant discovery.

You don't even know primordial black holes exist. They are purely theoretical.
I did use the correct terms. Your disagreeing which is causing the gravitational influence doesn't change that. Stop falsely claiming I used a wrong term when I did nothing of the sort.

1) Hubble appears to be the wrong tool for the job here.

2) If there was a planet in our solar system 10X larger than earth, we would have found it by now.

3) The alternative explanation (a tiny black hole the size of an orange) seems more likely to me.

This article supports 1 and 3 of your points. It also explains why you may be mistaken about point 2.

Still, good stuff!

That article says the James Webb Space Telescope might help in the future, but does not mention the Hubble space telescope. If that is because Hubble is not suitable for the task the article does not explain why.

I don't think the article supports his point #1. It certainly doesn't say that, but perhaps implies it by omission. That is all. It doesn't even support #3. It could be a planet that is simply too far away to see yet. The article says planet X is about 20 times further from the Sun than Neptune and Neptune was found the same way, by some significant, unseen source of gravity seemed to be affecting Uranus’ orbit before they saw it.

More so when the actual answer is no.

Of course it is dark matter. You cannot see it can you? Duh!

Let me guess, you thought dark matter was special kind of matter unlike regular matter. Right? Why do you think that? Has anybody ever claimed that? Nope.

Are you confusing dark matter with dark energy? They are not the same thing. Dark energy is purely theoretical and has never been proven to exist. We already know what dark matter is. It is matter you cannot see.

I'm not the one that is confused, Peewee.

Do you get your astronomy info from Global Research? Or George Noory?

A black hole is dark matter. Rogue planets too, unless you can see them.
If it is matter and it is too dark to see it is dark matter.

I could say the same thing about primordial black holes, but you admit something is there causing gravitational influence. Isn't that news worthy? That could explain dark matter keeping the galaxy spinning faster than seems poss ...[text shortened]... alter the earth's orbit around the sun causing the cyclical ice ages? You opened this can of worms.

Can I ask you what your major was, and do you even have a degree?

If you do, it must be in Literature, because you absolutely love making s--- up.

No.

No, you did not, but I have not the time to explain how you are wrong forty times in a row because you refuse to accept you could be.

Yes, that IS what I asked you, Mr. Evasion.

@metal-brain said
No.

Tell us again what dark matter is, genius.

Let's see if you get it right this time.

Some very recent Hubble discoveries:
This article is about the biggest comet nucleus ever found.

This article sheds more light (pardon the pun) on supermassive black holes:

Sorry to interrupt the mud-slinging, name calling, science fiction vs science argument, etc. Enjoy.
