A NEW PLANET?

Yes, that’s right, it’s possible that our NASA scientists have discovered a ninth planet in our solar system. It has been named “Tyche” pronounced tay-kee. The name was found from the Greek goddess of fortune, chance, providence and fate. Tyche was said to be the daughter of “Oceanus” and “Tethys” with an evil sister named “Nemesis” for her being, well, a nemesis. When people wondered why it was named after Greek mythology instead of Roman like all other planets, it was explained that there was an object in space named Nemesis. That object was supposedly the reason for “periodic mass extinctions on the Earth.” (To read more about it, click http://space.about.com/od/sunsol/a/Nemesis.htm)

The name’s origin is even less fascinating than that of the facts of this newfound world (but to find more out about the fate goddess, click http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/tgodsandgoddesses/g/Tyche.htm); Tyche is apparently FOUR times the size of Jupiter. Apparently NASA members have been arguing since 1999 for which of Tyche’s existence, and they still haven’t come to a decision.
