Mystery Planet? New Evidence Suggests Huge 9th Planet In Solar System
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have found new evidence that further suggests there is a ninth planet in our solar system.⁘
Nicknamed ⁘Planet Nine,⁘ researchers said that the most recent data shows something big is able to pull objects from outer space toward our sun and these objects occasionally cross Neptune⁘s line of orbit.⁘
The most plausible explanation, according to some researchers, is that a planet is creating these interferences.⁘
⁘Without Planet Nine, these objects can't be pushed inward past Neptune very often,⁘ Konstantin Batygin, lead author of the study and astronomer at Caltech, told FOX TV Stations.⁘
Below, the first panel shows a simulation with Planet Nine included. What⁘s more, these simulations actually align with what was observed over long-period orbits that cross Neptune⁘s path, Batygin explained.⁘
The Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile will be tasked with surveying the skies and the hope is that it will accelerate the ability to detect distant objects in our solar system, and that includes Planet Nine.⁘
