Evidence of the 9th planet of the Solar System

Astronomers at the California Institute of Technology announced the discovery of credible evidence of the 9th planet of the Solar System.

The planet has yet to be named, it is temporarily called "9th Planet" or "Planet X" . Although they have not observed the planet yet, relying on mathematical and computer models to provide evidence about it, this is the most reliable information in the past 150 years that shows the list of planets of the System The Sun is still not enough.

The planet is thought to be about the size of Neptune , 10 times the mass of the Earth, orbiting 20 times farther away from the Sun than Neptune and is expected to take about 10,000 to 20,000 years to spin. around the Sun. It has been predicted in the past many decades ago but there is no concrete evidence. However, this study has provided more reliable evidence.

The planet is thought to be about the size of Neptune, 10 times the mass of the Earth.

Astronomer Mike Brown, an author of this report, said: "We still keep quiet and spend the next 5 years to continue observing ourselves in the hope that we will find it directly. I really found it, this will be a great and extremely useful finding. " It is known that Brown was also the one who gave evidence leading to the removal of Pluto from the list of Solar System planets, the "slip down " of a dwarf planet and from there, the Solar System is only There are 8 planets.

In this study, Brown and his colleague Konstantin Batygin analyzed the movements of small objects outside our Solar System and discovered that they were subjected to a certain celestial body. see. So far, no one has seen the planet with their own eyes, but the team believes that the reliability of this discovery is about 70%.

Two years ago, Professor Scott Sheppard at the Carnegie Institute of Science, USA, published a similar study on the evidence of the 9th planet. Speaking before this study, he said: "There is no new planet to be found yet. This is still only indirect evidence . This is like we are at the crime scene with blood on the wall. and we must try to explain how the victim died ".

Professor Brown added: " This may be the 9th planet . Only two planets have actually been discovered since ancient times, and this may be the third planet. If that's true, then It's really an interesting discovery about our Solar System, although we were initially skeptical about the existence of this planet, but after continuing to investigate its trajectory, we are increasingly This is the first time in 150 years that strong evidence has been discovered that the list of Solar System planets is incomplete.
