And also happens to be a planet. A dwarf planet.

Code:

int x = 8==D?~ (8^0) : 69;

Let me guess: 69 to you is what 42 is for everyone else?

when the Vera C. Rubin Observatory goes online sometime in 2025, one of its missions will be providing unprecedented clarity into what lurks beyond Neptune, potentially revealing 10 times as many Solar System objects as are known today.

For centuries, astronomers have been shining a flashlight, hoping to stumble upon a cosmic mystery in the darkness. Hopefully when the Vera C. Rubin Observatory finally arrives, it’ll be like turning on a light switch.

We could be getting closer to solving the universe’s biggest mystery.

Do you have stock in this observatory or something? Jesus you spam the exact same message in near every post.

Just hyped for planet !X

& yes the LSST Observatory will definitely confirm the existence (or absence) of planet nine

So expect more posts on this line in future

Pluto is a planet, dammit.

Obligatory XKCD:

Personally, I think planet should be defined as an object with enough mass to retain an atmosphere not orbiting an object that is not a star. (Where "orbiting" an object means the combined center of mass is entirely inside that object. If two objects of similar mass orbit each other you can have a double planet.) This would mean Mercury is not a planet either.
