By the Associated Press. BERKELEY, Calif., April 15.—Iden- tity of the new astral body discovered by Lowell Observatory astronomers in Arizona last January as the long-sought transneptunian planet was challenged today by Director A. O. Leuschner of the University of California student ob- servatory. ‘While agreeing with the discoveries that the object is beyond Neptune, Prof. Leuschner declined to accept it as the ninth member of the planetary family, after “further orbit computation re- ceived from Swarthmore University Observatory and preliminary computa- tions of mass just completed at the student observatory here.” Prof. Leuschner said the new sky- wanderer might be a large asterold, a long-period planetary object, or possibly a comet, adding, however, that its dis- covery was “of great significance, be- cause it extends the limits of the ‘solar system.” computations of mass made here,” Prof. Leuschner explained, “in- dicate the object is too small to have caused the deviation in Neptune's orbit which originally led to the suspicion that a transneptunian planet exists. “Upon its stellar magnitude and its unknown albedo and density depends the mass of the object. The smallest known albedo—or ratio of sunlight re- flected to sunlight received—for a body in the solar system is 0.07. Such an albedo and the observed stellar magni- tude of 15 would give a mass four- tenths that of the earth for the object, providing its density is the same as that of the earth. “Planet X" Is Larger. “Lowell predicted that ‘planet X’ would prove to be seven times as large as the earth. It is highly improbable that the newly discovered object can be anywhere near this size.” Prof Leuschner said the Swarthmore Observatory computations indicated the orbit of the object had an eccentricity of .0909. This means, Prof. Leuschner explained, that the orbit is a flattened ellipse, with one end 20 times as dis- tant from the sun as the other. ‘The Swarthmore University and the University of California Observatories agreed in placing the body at its great- est distance some 40 billion miles from the sun, Prof. Leuschner pointed out. He said no other planetary bodies except comets ever get that far away and, if the object is not a comet, it is the first planetary body ever discov- ered with such an eccentric orbit. EVIDENCE INDICATES PLANET Dr. Slipher Avers Observations Bear Out First Announcement. FLAGSTAFF, Ariz, April.l5 (#)— Denial to the contrary, Dr. V. M. Slipher, director of the Lowell Ob- servatory here, believes evidence indi- cates that the recently discovered “planet X” is the long-sought trans- neptunian planet and is not a comet. Commenting on articles appearing in current issues of scientific publications, Dr. Slipher said misinterpretation of his announcement of the discovery was evident. “No_announcement of the discovery was made until Lowell astronomers were sure that it was the transnep- tunian planet,” he said, “and I have at no time, intentionally at least, inti- mated that there was any doubts in Lowell Observatory officials’ minds, in- cluding my own, that the point of light is anything but a- transneptunian .$7.00 | planet. Any inference to the contrary is a misinterpretation of technical terms. Theory Is Confirmed. “March 13, when the announcement of the discovery was made, we believed it to be the ninth member of the plan- etary family, and so stated. Today we are more firm in that belief, in that all | our voservations and computations con- firm the first announcement.” “On February 18,” Dr. Slipher said, “an inspection of some photographic plates taken five weeks previously showed a faint point of starlike light. Subsequent plates showed the same spot. After careful investigation of dozens of these plates showing the astral body’s Jjourney across the heavens it was an- nounced on March 10 that the long- sought transneptunian planet, whose existence was predicted by Dr. Percival Lowell many years ago, had been dis- covered. No Cometary Appearances. “This announcement was not made until Lowell astronomers, including my- self, were sure that it really was the transneptunian y. “‘Our orbit computations and observa- tions since February show definitely that it is transneptunian and affords strong evidence of planetary nature. It has no cometary appearances. “These computations have shown that the planet’s orbit is more eccentric and ol of‘ Dollars Few Months ©Old mattresses made new—just as buoyant—as clean (in- ade and out) as!the day you bought them.
