Detect invisible planet

For the first time in history to conquer space, experts were able to detect a planet

For the first time in the history of space conquest, experts were able to detect a "stealth" planet in front of the most modern telescopes, thanks to its gravitational pull that impacted funds. the direction of the adjacent planet.

NASA's Kepler space telescope has found a pair of alien planets, temporarily called Kepler-19b and Kepler-19c . However, Kepler-19c was discovered after Kepler-19b, and completely disappeared from Kepler's view. When paying attention to the analysis, experts realized that the time to travel around the orbit of the planet 19b was not uniform, usually early or later than calculated.

The attraction from 19c changed the fixed trajectory of the neighboring planet. Both planets belong to the celestial constellation , and they are about 650 light-years from Earth. This is the first time that experts have successfully applied TTV method , changing transit time, to detect a planet outside the solar system. Before that, they used TTV to predict the existence of Neptune thanks to the orbit of Uranus.
