Scientific paper

The search for Planet X began soon after the discovery of Uranus in 1781. The scientific search, over the next 200 years, resulted in the discovery of many new "Objects" (Planets and Minor Planets) but not the elusive Planet X. The data now indicate there never was a Planet X to find and the scientific search ended in the early 1990's. In the last 10 years the search has begun anew, not by scientists, interested in adding to our knowledge, but by groups advocating apocalyptic ideas. They have a wide following and are interested in promoting their pseudoscientific beliefs. This talk will discuss this history.
