    Planet 9 is a frightening planet, therefore it is very well known for many thousands of years in the history of mankind. We are walking in the dark as long as we ignore ancient texts, like the Indian Mahabharata and the Mayan Popol Vuh, that tell us that our planet Earth is suffering from a cycle of seven natural disasters. Those disasters are causing a huge tidal wave, massive floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and a bombardment of fiery meteors every few thousand years. Several animal species become extinct and mankind hardly survives. Every earthlayer that is lying loosly on top of the previous one is the proof of one disaster.The only possible natural cause of this cycle can be a ninth planet in our solar system, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. Thus the event is predictable but inescapable as the sunrise tomorrow. We have pictures of the approaching planet, ancient sources show us the orbit of planet 9 and its whereabouts. Just east of Pisces. And it looks like LL Pegasi, the spiraled cloud, also just east of Pisces. Coincidence? To learn much more about planet 9, the cycle of recurring floods, the recreation of civilizations and its timeline and ancient high technology, read the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru".

    How LOUD was it? Also, how dense is the corona compared to the surface? Which means that the heat of the less dense corona is less than the surface even though the temperature is much higher. Just like boiling water at 100°C contains more heat than air at 500°C.

    Taking a layman's guess before the explanation is given. I think it orbits L2 by being slowed down and then "slingshotted" forward in its solar orbit by Earth. That it, it is actually orbiting the sun but in a position so precise that Earth's gravitational effect causes it to _appear_ to orbit L2.

    Planet 9 is not recognized by astronomers because it is hidden in a large spiral cloud like LL Pegasi. Astronomers know nothing about ancient human history that tells us about a cycle of seven natural disasters that is caused by a celestial body. Every earth layer that is lying loose on top of the previous one is the proof of one disaster because when that planet crosses the ecliptic plane with a very high speed the gravitational force causes a huge tidal wave on our planet. That wave wipes out the existing civilization and some animal species go extinct. It leaves a thick layer of mud all over the planet that hardens and becomes the next earth layer. We have many pictures from that planet 9 that is approaching our planet Earth. We have pictures from its orbit and where we must look now, east of the constellation Pisces. That is also the spot where LL Pegasi can be found. Coincidence?
