Undiscovered planet and the dinosaur?

UPDATED!!!\n\nIt is taken seriously, and is now generally accepted as the primary cause of the dinosaurs' demise.  there may have been additional factors, but a meteorite impact is considered to be the biggest one.\n\nFor a long time, however, it was believed that meteroites only struck the earth in the past, and after that initial bombardment, the danger passed.  And most scientists demanded a "smoking gun."  A crater.  That crater was finally found...under water.  Off of the Yucatan Penninsula.  When the meteorite first made contact with the surface of the earth, the top point of the giant rock was six miles in the sky!!  It left a crater 25 miles deep.  Imagine standing on the eastern edge of the Grand Canyon.  If that was the Yucatan Crater, the other side of it would have engulfed the casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada!\n\nThe confirmation that it was an asteroid (or meteorite) strike that killed the dinosaurs was the detection of an element called iridium, which is common in space, but rare on earth.  Another indicator is the presence of shocked quartz close to the area of impact.  There are no normal geological processes powerful enough to shock quartz, but a meteorite, if it was big enough, could do it.  Then as the meteorite and the rock with which it impacts is vaporized and blown up into the earths atmosphere, the huge cloud of dust spreads out over the world and eventually settles back down\n\nScientists can tell when the impact occured because after a certain level of geological stratus (layers of sediment laid down over time), dinosaurs are no longer found.  At all.  When they analysed the materials in this layer of sedentary rock, they found unusually high levels of iridium.\n\nSuch impacts are not necessarily periodic events.  Such a thing absolutely will happen to the earth again.  Not if.  When.  And nobody knows when it will happen.  Astronomers have identified thousands of Near Earth Objects.  Any one of these could be the next to strike us, or perhaps one that we missed.\n\nBut it WILL happen.\n\n"if the planet would have been in the outer reaches how can it really be so impactful that it jolted numerous rocks towards earth"\n\nBecause that far out in space, very small changes in direction can have major impacts on the objects trajectory after it has traveled millions or billions of miles.  If you aim a rifle at the bullsey of a target that is 100 meters away and move the barrel end of the rifle just one centimeter, the bullet may miss the target completely.  Just that small distance can be a big miss at a long range.  Likewise, if an asteroid is on a trajectory that doesn't put earth in any danger makes only a slight change, possibly no more than the width of a human hair, it may wind up on a path that will cause it to crash into earth, or a different planet.  This change in the asteroid's path may be caused by the gravitational pull of a nearby planet, or by one asteroid gently bumping into another.  And this can happen anywhere.  While the asteroid is in orbit within our solar system, or in what is known as the "Asteroid Belt."\n\n"also if the planet is undiscovered how can they say anything about its involvement with earth being peiodic"\n\nGood question.  For a long time, scientists suspected that there was another planet beyond Pluto.  The reasons for this were that although this other planet could not be seen, its gravitational effects on other objects could be detected.  I don't know what the specifics of this process\nwere, but perhaps they measured a slight "wobble" in the orbit of pluto that had to have been caused by something with enough mass to cause the wobble.  Astronomers referred to this object as Planet X.  This planet has now been discovered and verified.  It was named Xena.\n\nIt should also be noted that the cause of a change in an asteroid's path doesn't have to be cused by a planet that is very far away.  There are

Dinosaur picture taken by camera doesn't exist!\nIt's a picture of simulated dinosaur.\n\nTry to search for movie such as JURASSIC PARK, KING KONG etc. \n\nGoogle search on dinosaur (picture) is ok.

Mount Everest, it just hadn't been discovered yet

Technically dinosaurs were not even known to have exist until the first evidence was discovered in either the 18th or 19th century. In the book of Genesis note: not to be interepted literally!! It states ( after the life in the sea,animals on land) Sorry I can't quote exactly however; look at all the animals that exist. The Bible would be a LONG book!

it hasnt been proven, but there are pictures out there, tho most of them are fake\n\ni personally believe that there probably once was one, but there really isnt much chance that it is still alive\n\nit was probably a decendent of some dinosaur thing\n\nso yea, id say it is, well, WAS real

Good question \nPluto is out there somwhere after neptune . May be it is removed from the planet status but not from the solar system , It is in the status of a dwarf planet and it isn't lost and It isn't fair but this isn't the first  planet to be removed from the planet status but ceres was once aplanet in the ancient times it was in the planetery status for 5 decades and was removed by the same scientist/astronaut who found it , he stated he was wrong on his prediction and declared it was an asteroids which was floating the space which looked to him as a planet . It was said be in the middle of mars and jupiter .

There are 6 planets that even the ancients knew about.  From the sun outward, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.  (of  course, the ancients did not know that Earth was quite a bit like those little points of light that moved through the heavens).  William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781. Neptune was discovered on September 23, 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle. And Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto on February 18th, 1930.\n\nA few other discoveries may turn out to be planets.  In 2003 Mike Brown and two other astronomers discovered an object larger than Pluto, temporarily named 2003 UB313.  The International Astronomical Union will make a determination whether UB313 will be called a planet, and they'll also give it a proper name from mythology.  \n\nAnd astronomers have found other planet-sized bodies circling distant stars. As of May 18th, 193 of these "extra-solar" (meaning away from our sun) planets have been discovered.  See the exoplanet link below for more info.\n\nSo, to sum things up, from the sun outward, your list is:\n\nMercury\nVenus\nEarth\nMars\nJupiter\nSaturn\nUranus\nNeptune\nPluto\nUB 313 (maybe)\n\nand 193 planets somewhere else in our Milky Way galaxy.

New planet, discovered by the Samuel Oschin Telescope at the Palomar Observatory near San Diego, Calif., on Jan. 8, 2005,  is yet to be formally named.\n\n(This  newly-discovered object is more distant than the mysterious planetoid SEDNA discovered in 2003. Sedna is designated 2003 VB12.)\n\n Is at least as big as Pluto and about three times farther away from the Sun than Pluto. It is very cold and dark.It is currently about 97 times farther from the sun than Earth, or 97 Astronomical Units (AU). For comparison, Pluto is 40 AU from the sun. \n\nThis places the new planet more or less in the Kuiper Belt, a dark realm beyond Neptune where thousands of small icy bodies orbit the sun. The planet appears to be typical of Kuiper Belt objects--only much bigger. Its sheer size in relation to the nine known planets means that it can only be classified as a planet itself

Two reports that may be new evidence.  Gathered in the\n   flight of the Ark around the entire system.  The one point is\n   it is not hot as we know of hot.  That would be igneous and\n   would react through tunneling into the surface.  The center\n    is a similar but cold material, sort of the co2 type of material.\n    Like hot it is outside of our ability to touch, without data our\n    mind cannot concept it and we could hurt our nerves.  The\n    nearby area is also unknown, that is the radiant, reactives,\n    radiological materials that are emitted into space pass through\n    nearly every material without any noticeable change.  This\n    unknown is called the central web iron.  That material is also\n    undefined because there are no samples on the surface to\n    see, or measure.  The general core is magnesium sulfates\n    these have the properties that make the planet warm, sweet,\n    and vegetative.

To my knowledge the Bible doesn't mention anything about dinosaurs.  I've read about donkeys and giants, but no dinosaurs.  I figure I'll just ask Jesus about them when I get up there.

yes.there is entirely a newly discovered solar system.there are 3 planets,all revolving around the star upilisone androemedae,and all of them are bigger than jupiter!and NASA has sent satellites which will go to pluto and beyond.hope we find the answers then!

It is impossible as far as we can tell. Jurassic Park was a story. If anyone has been able to obtain dinosaur DNA, and that is still very much in dispute, the amount the have found is miniscule. Trying to reconstruct a dinosaur from what we have is literally like trying to physically reconstruct New York City from half a page ripped out of a telephone directory. And that is not an exaggeration. We have next to no genetic information, we have absolutely no information about the way that information was configured. We have no information about how to incubate the creature if we did create it. \n\nThose aren’t problems that can be overcome by technology. It’s not a case of retrieving the information somewhere that it’s hidden as with the human genome project. The information simply doesn’t exist. We have absolutely no way of ever getting that information ever again. \n\nThe only vaguely plausible method would be to evolutionarily ‘regress’ living descendants of dinosaurs such as birds. That’s so far outside our ability at the moment that it’s almost pure science fiction, but it isn’t actually physically impossible the way that using fragmentary DNA is.

The popei plant came around right as the dinosaurs were going extinct... most dinosaurs has really small nasal cavities...\nmakes you think....

yes.  Here is a post of mine with the info on it about life outside our planet, maybe even in our solar system.  Be aware:  Most planets we found are "hot jupiturs", which are jupitur sized gas giants with temperatutres about 1300F at average.  \n\nThere is a possibility.\n\nI have done PLENTY of research in astronomy. I just am so into it. Anyway, I beleive yes, and my reasons:\n\nEarth itself seems perfect. Perfect climate, actaul liquid water, etc. But did you know animals (and I mean animals, not bacteria) could adapt over time to certain places? For instance, In Jupitur, there might be life. The appearence: Most planets are gas giants, and they need to be able to withstand a good amount of temperature (We are alomst guarenteed the only solar system with rocky planets and temperatures colder than 1300F on average). This would be the perfect place for, as the books described as, Floaters And Swordtails. Floaters kinda would be blimps. They would be organisms flying in the perfect temperature zone and flying with the baloons on their back. However, a sword tail would come. Using its super wings, it can fly lightning fast. Its sharp beak lets it tear right through the floater for food.\n\nOn EUropa:\nOn jupiturs smallest of the Gallelaio moons, there is a greater chance of having life than mars. The reason: Ice flows cover the surface. The ice flow tend to crack, bu recover. The process is also found on earth, and is now beleived that liquid water lies under the flow.\n\nThe appearance of life:\nSkating on the ice on Europa, An unnamed organism skates around, using its green body to undergo photosynthesis to produce food. Because It needs no air and makes food like plants, they need no mouths.\n\nVenus (What most planets moons probibly look like):\nOn a hot planet like venus, you need to survive insane temperatures. Eating rocks would also be good, for the fact that its mostly the only thing on the planet. Oh, and leave out the need for water. They cant get any there. \n\nThe appearence: \nStanding on the scraps of a russian probe, an oucher-poucher stands on 1 foot to avoid the insane heat, eating the scraps of the ship. The oucher pouncher needs no water, so it doesnt need hydration. Its body is also meant to withstand any type of pressure, for 90x earths pressure would surely crush it normally. \n\nPluto:\nPluto is made up of all types of ice. water, dry, though mainly methane. So drinking, again, is out of the picture. They might beable you suck moisture though. The sun is to far away for solar energy, so you can slash out all photosynthesis.\nThe appearence:\nPlutonian zittsles are almost small ice chunks with legs. They are able to last in temperatures in the climates back in the far end of the solar system. In the morning, they do whatever they can to stay cold, for they feel that -234C is almost the exact same as 103F for us. At night, they really get going. They send waves to eachother to communicate while the atmosphere is still up. When they really are energetic, they can spring in the air up to 30 feet. They use tiny mouths under them to suck moisture from the ice. They think that pluto is the only place for life; Everywhere else is to hot. \n\nTitan:\nTitan is the only moon that we know of that can support life. Its atmosphere is composed of mainly nitrogen, similar to ours. So it does have a green house effect. The ground is covered with ice, so they have to eat that for water. Also, they would need to keep warm, since although its not extremem temperatures, its really cold.\n\nThe appearence:\nBear-like Stovebellies are creatures living on titan. To keep warm, they have several features. They have a huge HUGE fur coat. The eat ice for moisture and to cool the ground the stand on. They also have a unique adaptaion to beath fire and fart out heat to go soaring. Salafishes, amphibious organisms, share a mutalion relation ship with stovebellies. They clear out ice blocks and act almost as dentistds for st

komodo dragon i think? but then i'd never heard of the other one. although...the person that wrote dinosaur is right to an extent...although they're not really lizards. another although coming up...trying to think...can't...going...out...:) i'm going to answer more of your questions. :)

There are new planets being discovered all the time, but I assume you mean the new tenth planet in our solar system. \n\nThe discoverer has suggested the name Xena, after the television show. The official name is not due out for some time, and has to be decided by an international committee.

Astronomers say they have discovered what appears to be an entirely new kind of planet, an extra-large gas giant unlike any known world in our solar system or beyond. \n\n"This questions our understanding of how giant planets are formed and evolve," said Robert Noyes, a senior physicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). \n\n\nThe planet, dubbed HAT-P-1, is located some 450 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lacerta. \n\nIt is the largest planet ever discovered and boasts a radius nearly 1.4 times larger than Jupiter's. \n\nHAT-P-1 is also the least dense of all known planets. \n\n"This planet is about one quarter the density of water," said Gaspar Bakos, a Hubble fellow at CfA. \n\n"In other words, it's lighter than a giant ball of cork. Just like Saturn, it would float in a bathtub if you could find a tub big enough to hold it, but it would float almost three times higher." \n\nUnlike more familiar gas giants, including those in our solar system, HAT-P-1 does not appear to have a solid core.
