Planet X: Planets LEAN Toward Orion
Someone has pointed out to me that the elongated parts of the orbits
all point to the general vicinity of Orion (approximately 5 or 6 hrs RA,
+20 deg Dec). The arguments used to debunk the existence have been:
1. Changing the Weight of the Outer Planets eliminates Planet X
Then how is it that these very outer planets THEMSELVES lean toward
Orion if their weight is the CAUSE of the perturbation?
2. The IRAS Team Was Mistaken
...Nearly everyone on the IRAS Science Team who looked
at the early IRAS data found at least one source that they
initially thought could be "the tenth planet". Many of these
observations turned out to be IRC+10216, a bright
previously known source which is almost exactly in the
ecliptic plane (the plane of the planets)...

Is IRC+10216 perturbing all our planets to LEAN in the direction of
Orion?
