Any of you fags looking for this? Does it exist or is it just a meme? If you discover it we get to name it. What would you pick?

>>9542518
I don't think that is really a problem. It just has to have cleared its orbit.

>>9542465
The problem is that we don't really know where to look.
Its proposed orbit doesn't come anywhere near the current bounds of the solar system, so even if it is as big and reflective as Saturn the closest its orbit comes is about 20 times further away from the Sun than Saturn is and the furtherest is about 120 times.
The proposed orbital period is thousands of year and it could be anywhere in that orbit currently. Because its orbital period is so long it wouldn't move very far in the sky over the course of even a year, so even if we capture it on a telescope it would take a long time of observations to notice it moving.

If it is there, likely we will discover it at some point, but what we need is time. My prediction is that people combing through telescope observations will notice a point that has moved slightly over a long period in an unusual direction and that will lead to focused observations that'll reveal it.

The real sad thing, though, is that we will probably never send a probe out to it.
