Given how, the better our technology gets, the more we discover things that seemed completely counter-intuitive just a short while ago, just watch ... Planet 9 will have some volcanic/geothermal properties and turn out to be the first place we discover life despite its great distance from the Sun.

You’re a first rate explainer of rather complex topics for a self-described ‘enthusiast’. What great comments.
