Does the solar system have the 9th planet to own oceans and life?

During a visit to the Aerospace Science and Technology Building at the University of Colorado Boulder (USA), Jim Bridenstine, an administrator of NASA, just made a shocking statement: "In my opinion, why Pluto is a planet ".

In the aforementioned way, our Solar System will have 9 planets rather than 8 as current astronomical documents indicate.

In fact, Pluto has been considered a planet since its discovery in 1930, but during the development of astronomy, more objects were "shaped" than the planet. should have "demoted" Pluto to a dwarf planet since 2006.

However, the new statement from the head of NASA is a weighty statement, because they are the only space agency in the world that has a spacecraft flying far enough to make really clear research on celestial bodies. this. That is the 2015 mission of the ship named New Horizons.

The data New Horizons collected, along with many other data from the most modern telescopes in the world, have shown that Pluto has many unexplored secrets. Among them is the research led by scientist Alan Stern, who leads the Horizons mission, calling for a reclassification of this object.

Most recently, in May 2019, a team of scientists from Hokkaido University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokushima University, Osaka University, Kobe University (Japan) and the University of California at Santa Cruz (USA) ) also thanks to data from NASA's Horizons that uncovered evidence of an underground ocean with liquid water below the left lobe of Sputnik Planitia of the heart-shaped icy field on Pluto. Liquid water is associated with the chance of alien life, the team said.
