Thanks Nancy ... finally a clear unequivocal statement of the

magnitude of your planet.

- You say that it will be a naked eye object March 27, 2003.

- Your distance table allows us to get the distance to your planet on

that date as about 1.6 Sun-Pluto distance units.

(to find Nancy's distance table, go to my web site at

http://us.geocities.com/openmindxx/ and scroll down to "What about

Nancy's Gravity? (by Greg Neill)" ... Greg gives a discussion of

Nancy's orbital mechanics, and a reference to her distance table.

- The table also tells us that the planet is currently at about 8.2

S-P distances.

- Thus the planet is currently about 5.1 times farther away that it

will be when it becomes visible to the naked eye.

- Thus it is currently about 26 times fainter than it will be when it

is naked eye ... that is about 3.5 magnitudes fainter than naked eye

visibility.

- Naked eye visibility is (to give you the maximum benefit of the

doubt) 6.5 magnitudes

- so you planet right now should be about 10th magnitude ... just as

you have said said.

- the problem is, it isn't there. By now everyone knows that you

agree that there is no 10th (or 11th, or 12th, ... or 19th) magnitude

object on my images or the OHP image. Thus your planet has not

appeared as predicted. Zetas wrong!
