Neptune, Vulcan, and Planet X

Neptune

Neptune was discovered on this day in 1846 though it is said that Galileo's calculations pinpointed it as early as the 17^th-Century.  Using the same methodology, scientists theorized another planet existed, as well, and named it "Vulcan."  While Vulcan's existence has never been confirmed, some still insist that it is hidden behind the Sun.

This "hidden planet" theory has since mutated into "Planet X," or "Planet 9," and features prominently in Doomsday scenarios, Flat-Earth MISOs (23/Isis), and books by Zecharia Sitchin.
