Journey to the far side of the sun. I beg you.

How can we see our entire solar system?
we know about the 8 planets (sorry pluto),
but what I am getting at is: from our position all of our
sattelites our missions outward in space and all that, isn't
it highly likely that directly opposite from our orbit of
the sun another planet or two orbits as well? How would we
be able to see them given our current positioning and the
courses weve already taken into space? there could possably
be other planets in orbit on our same plane that we just
dont see because it is on the opposite side of the sun...

If you get what I am saying prove me wrong, or have I missed
something? from earth our telescopes can really only do what
we can do standing still. we can look far left, far right ,
strait forward up and down. but we cannot see behind the
sun...

(and please exclude ub313 and all the others I am talking
about the opposite side of the sun not what is already in
plain view from earth.)

Fuck you recycle "all you ever do is hold me back" -akira

I'm serious when I first thought of that I felt like I
started back at zero, Like I knew nothing again and that my
mind was like that of a child it was exhilerating.

I am in quite a dilemma.

As I cannot tell if this is a serious thread.

If it is, you know we have telescopes that aren't on Earth.

It is still serious. I know we have telescopes off the earth
but my point remains there is still one helluva fucking
blindspot in what we see. even if we have them as far as
saturn, doesnt matter. or at least my interpretation is
that most of the planets in orbit are ona single plane (give
or take about 40degrees off) and for the most part only
really cover (with all of that and every angle we can see
from those planets) maybe 1/3 of the blind spot I an talking
about. the sun is fucking gigantic I dont think we can see
what is directly on the opposite side of it from any of the
8 planets or any of the sattelites we have out there given
our position.

what hes trying to say is that our telescopes can't see
"through" things though and there maybe another planet
directly fucking opposite earth (on the other side of the
sun) moving at the same speed we are. So our telescopes
wouldn't be able to see it because the sun is in the way.

what about spaced based imagery? couldn't the Hubble Space
Telescope see the spot directly opposite the earth, without
the Sun being in the way?

But our telescopes are not in the same place as us. If you
and I are twenty feet apart, and there is a tree directly in
front of me, there could be a rabbit behind the tree that I
wouldn't see, but you would.

Besides, even without telescopes, the likelyhood of this
happening are nearly zero (that a planet would be in the
right place, be the right size, and move at the right speed
in the right orbit.)

the sun is a couple hundred maybe a thousand Jupiter sized
planets. you could have the hubble at pluto and you'd MAYBE
see half of the area we're speculating.

If you want, you can pop on up there and match speed with
the sun. I'll pilot the earth on around and pick you up in
about a year. It should be interesting for you to watch the
earth take off like that... You can let us know if anything
else comes around in the meantime.

correction the sun is roughly 110 Earths. sorry for the over
exaggeration.

btw the moon of Io (jupiter i believe) is pretty fascinating

should look it up sometime. no really look it up.

Those hidden planets would cause gravitational anomalies
that are measurable.
Lots of planets and space stuff are discovered not by direct
observation, but by observation of the effects in the
surroundings.

rostasky is right, we're dealing with such vast distances,
not least between the already existing planets. And planets
are not orbiting the sun at the exact same speed, which
means if the planets are currently in sync, they haven't
been in the past and people would have seen them.

No need to see, i say.

well keeping that in mind if they werent in sync in the past
then the likelyhood that they would have been seen and
recorded is still rather unlikely. just think about how long
it took to find pluto, and then UB313. they arent easily
spotted from the naked eye or by telescope. the time windows
on viewing such an oddity would most likely be short so you
would most likely run into that problem that " they just put
the telescopes down too soon" as they did with pluto and
UB313. The gravitational differences I doubt would be as
easily measured because of the great distance. (i just
woke up so if this made sense i deserve a prize)

"The gravitational differences I doubt would be as easily
measured because of the great distance."

They spot black holes in other galaxies by the gravitational
differences...

But the solar system is huge. What i'm talking about is the
angle, our planet and the sun. Yes, the sun i huge but our
solar system is gigantic. So the chances of missing out on
important data behind that black spot are microscoping, when
comparing astronomic properties.
There could be celestial bodies even further out, thats more
a matter of how you view it. But not because our orbit is
hiding something.

eh.. the planets fall around the sun at different speeds,
and so, I would believe, do our space telescopes, meaning
there could quite possibly be times when those telescopes
are where this other planet would be, the other side of the
sun while we're on this side. We haven't just positioned
stuff in a straight line out from us making it fall at the
same velocity and in the same orbit. it's the same with the
satelites we send out.. they aren't shot straight out, they
fall and enter and escape different planets gravitational
fields at different places and times, and their path would
be more like a snake than a straight line...

Now, I know what you're going to say, and that would be
talking bollocks.

Ok, I'll lay down my arms. I realize my mistake in the
different speeds of the outter planets however this
speculation still is a possability dont rule it out. pluto
was there a long time before we found it and so was UB313.

I really want to thank you all though for getting in on
this, Its refreshing to have speculation on the boards when
it would be so easy for you all to just brush it off and say
it is 100% bullshit and not worth the effort.

and to Recycle, you better know that I was kidding...

but it just came to mind in an instance
i really like space and teh exploration and science and all

Um, 1, it is highly unlikely that they would maintain the
exact same orbit time as us (365.24 days or whatever). All
the planets at some point are on the opposite side, or the
closer side.
2. even if, there would be ways to tell because of their
gravitational effects on other bodies
