So as a Chronicles fan and a lifelong scifi reader, I can’t help but be interested in theories and news around “planet X”. When I grew up, it was number 10, but then Pluto got demoted…
I’m absolutely fascinated with the idea that it’s easier to detect planets in far-off-solar systems than in our own. There’s a lot we don’t know about our own back yard!
And a lot of the theories activate the MC part of my brain. Like this one here: https://www.caltech.edu/…/caltech-researchers-find… A planet 10 times the size of Earth, orbiting the earth at a pace of one revolution per 10-20 000 years. Monstrously huge, veiled in darkness due to its enormous distance to the sun. Maybe there are ruins there, maybe a large metal tablet…
Another hypothesis is that it’s actually a black hole… (https://www.astronomy.com/…/planet-nine-may-be-a-black…/) Which would, of course, alwo be kind of awesome. Maybe it’s both? An enormous Dyson sphere-like mega structure built around a black hole, somehow acting as both power source and a conduit between here and Unspace, or Beyond, or wherever the Legion’s been banished to…
(None of this is in any way official canon for Luna City Blues by the way, I just like to think about these things)
