OK, all those zeros have my head spinning, but I read that as 50 sextillion. Correct? 5.0 x 10^22

That’s a whole lotta Earth-sized rocks.

@Bruce… “…another planet on the other side of our sun.” – I think they would have noticed it by now you nut. Are you one of those people that discard evidence and form your own ‘unworldly’ conclusions?

EDIT: sorry, i just read your bried introduction on writing.com. My appologies for jumping to conclusions but in reality, I really, really don’t think there is a planet on the other side of the sun. Really.

However, if you didn’t know… there is a planet that keeps jockeying for position with earth… in sun orbit (sharing orbit with earth) that many people don’t know about… but that’s right along side us, not on the other side of the sun. (Cruinthe) Also, it is known that we have a second ‘moon’ that got locked into earth-orbit around 1999. (Look up Asteroid 2003 YN107 ) but this is not a true moon as it will get flung off into space again in the future.

Its astonishing how vast the universe is and this is incredibly interesting because it brings us closer to finding a planet similar to Earth. In addition, This may help us find evidence of life on other planets.

I do so injoy this stuff, in my view as for the part reason of writing my 1st book on http://www.writing.com “Elisheva & The Way Stones” I think there “maybe” another planet just on the other side of our own sun!
