Planet Iks
It might have another
Name but for demotion of
A planetoid, and we really
Haven’t found it yet
But there’s good (knowing)
Guessing now that it is
There—
A globe ten times the size
Of Earth and more yet
Too far or too errant for
Our scopes to espy
Here’s a world in our solar
Home we didn’t know
A circle signaling that our
System of counting and
Of comprehending (in both
Ways)
Might be far itself from
Being done, even though we
Measure over ages

I appreciate that this sounds like fiction. I like sci-fi. But it’s actual. Astronomers are looking for this planet now. They have high confidence. It would be Planet Ten. But with Pluto’s sad demise as a planet (still sore about that), it will be Planet Nine.
