Sirius is NOT influencing the sun's orbital dynamics! I said it is tracing a pattern through space with the solar system.
Now explain how something so big as Planet Nein can exist with nobody ever having to take into account its influence on space exploration. Shouldn't something that huge screw up probes, satellites, and stationary stuff at Lagrange points? I mean, if we have elliptical orbits then nothing is safe.
The large and distant planet may be adding a wobble to the solar system, giving the appearance that the sun is tilted slightly.
"Because Planet Nine is so massive and has an orbit tilted compared to the other planets, the solar system has no choice but to slowly twist out of alignment," says Elizabeth Bailey, a graduate student at Caltech and lead author of a study announcing the discovery.
All of the planets orbit in a flat plane with respect to the sun, roughly within a couple degrees of each other. That plane, however, rotates at a six-degree tilt with respect to the sun—giving the appearance that the sun itself is cocked off at an angle. Until now, no one had found a compelling explanation to produce such an effect. "It's such a deep-rooted mystery and so difficult to explain that people just don't talk about it," says [Mike] Brown.
Actually, it doesn't say that.
Basically says the same, if P9 is causing the tilt to the solar system then Cassini should be perturbed in a measurable way too.
"An undiscovered planet outside the orbit of Neptune, 10 times the mass of Earth, would affect the orbit of Saturn, not Cassini," said William Folkner, a planetary scientist at JPL.

The Sun does not orbit Sirius.

...but all that needs saying is for everyone to get into safe geographic locations asap, out of major cities, away from the coast and karst zones, at good elevation with consideration for meteorites, hunting skills, knowledge, food, water filtered and at some point distilling is a must. Ozarks ISS popular for the US.
It did not tilt the Sun's axis.
planet X must have been orbiting Sol for billions of years to have 'tilted' the Suns rotation Axis some 6 degrees different from the Solar Plane
While it could well suffer impact events, but so what? Did you know that the Earth accretes 15-50 tons of stuff each year? What are you calling the "inner solar system?"
planet X must be accreting hundreds of tons of ice & rock when passing through the Oort cloud and the Kuiper Belt all those thousands of orbits both into and out from the inner solar system
Earth's core is affecting objects in the outer Solar System?
I think I am alone here.... by saying the mythic planet X is actually the Earth Core that seems to behave autonomously & intelligently/as-in-Gaia

9TH PLANET15,000 year orbit?
Nibiru I think is what 3600 according to Sitchin?
interesting

So the Sun only appears to be the thing that is tilted .

Now, researchers suggest that Planet Nine's influence might have tilted the entire solar system except the sun.
"Planet Nine may have tilted the other planets over the lifetime of the solar system," said study lead author Elizabeth Bailey, an astrophysicist and planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
