The search for Planet 9 ...join in

For those down under

Quote:

British cosmologist Brian Cox will tonight press gang Australian TV viewers into the search for the solar system’s darkest planet, in a broadcast filmed at a craggy NSW peak. The youthful looking particle physicist, also known as host of the BBC’s Stargazing Live program and former keyboardist with pop band D: Ream, will recruit citizen scientists during an ABC broadcast of the program. It was recorded last week at the Australian National University’s SkyMapper telescope at Siding Spring near Coonabarabran. Professor Cox used the program to launch ANU’s crowdsourced project to find “Planet 9”, a hypothetical planet orbiting far beyond Neptune.
