Removal of deletion proposal Napier is distinguished both as an academic (he is a major figure in the neo-catastrophism movement of astronomy), and as an author (his books are best-sellers). As such, an entry is likely to be sought and welcomed by a significant number of Wikipedia users.

I think shattered Icon and Splintered Icon are the same book with different publication titles. Can anyone confirm this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.9.182.43 (talk) 02:42, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

New theory on the origin of Planet Nine

edit

Dear Prof. Napier, I corresponded with you and Victor Clube on possible causes of the KTB extinction event some 35 years ago, I'm sure you don't recall, but I do! Anyway, I've an interesting thought on the possible origin of hypothetical Planet Nine, (Caltech. astronomy) which posits the capture of Planet Nine, as shown by its great solar distance and high eccentricity of orbit, to be extrasolar in origin, and likely a local exo-planet captured from some passing star. I propose that this Planet Nine (if telescope found) should be in a new class of planets, 'solar exo-planets' by the same capture process you and Clube proposed for the interchange of comets with passing giant molecular clouds in the 1980s. You should publish this concept before someone else finds it.
