On 10th March 2014, Davidreneke.com exposed that “Planet-X” Does Not Exist, after the exploration of millions of sky objects by The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NASA failed to obtain any evidence to show that a solar system nicknamed “Planet X” existed. The natural scientists in astronomy had previously speculated the existence of “Planet X”, a large invisible astronomic body imagined to be located somewhere past the Pluto’s orbit (Davidreneke.com 2014). The body was dubbed other names like the “Tyche” and “Nemesis”. The recent study-The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) conducted by NASA was exhaustive and comprised of the evaluation of the WISE data that covered the entire sky.
