The Case of The 'Yo-Yo Planet'



The scientific-astronomical establishment bas been all agog in recent weeks about a "Yo-yo Planet."

Planets, they all know, come about when a disc of dust swirling around a star (a 'sun') coalesces into lumps that keep growing until they attain planetary size. Then they all circle their sun.in the same direction (usually counterclockwise) and in the same plane of orbit. That neat theory has now collided with the increasing number of "extra solar" planets discovered in other faraway solar systems: Some of the planets out there, like the recently discovered WASP-17, not only orbit in the opposite direction - they also have great elliptical orbits...

A recent National Geographic TV program titled 'Alien Earths' was mostly devoted to what the astronomers called "Yo-yo planets." So how do they explain them? Well, you see, such planets were probably thrust out from other solar systems and were caught to orbit a new Sun in this odd way...

"I was sure that at this point they will say that, in fact, such a planet is described in ancient texts, according to Zecharia Sitchin", some irate readers of The 12th Planet have written to me.

We1l 'they' didn't, but maybe someday they will.
