you know we never know any night it
could be the night that we actually find
it the skies clear though no that is
awesome right there that's where it's up
somewhere in the sky there is a single
moderately faint object slowly moving go
find that's the challenge it's gonna be
a great night
there's windy as we're supposed to I
think yeah hopefully we don't break the
till super is a huge telescope and also
has this camera that's able to look at a
big monster patch of sky
what is this can use this is not good
Konstantin almost always takes oxygen
the trick to doing this right is to have
to think as little as possible at 14,000
feet because thinking at 14,000 feet
barely works

Orbitz projected onto the night sky will
appear in some swath but we don't know
where inside that swath pine at night
height we know its orbit pretty well we
still argue about how well we know it
Mike thinks we know it better than we
know it I think I know it better than
you know
mike is delusional this is the map of
the sky
the two big red lines show us the
expected path to Planet nine plan a nine
is somewhere between these two spots in
the sky you can see every place the
telescope points is a little circle at
the end of the day all that is going on
is you just ultimately look for an
object that move that's the goal let's
go there's emerges
basically you have to check every single
star every single smudge that might be
there and see if it's moving at all is
in the same spot last night is the same
spot tonight
[Music]
if it's going at the right speed that is
but the day we find it telescopes
everywhere it will be able to go look at
it because once you know the coordinates
to easy simple we are gonna study it and
try to learn where it came from what
it's made out of what does it tell us
about the story of the solar system and
that's what the real promise here
you
