Scientists from the University of Arizona and the California Institute of Technology said that they managed to find evidence of the existence of a ninth planet in the solar system. Western news publications write about this.
According to experts, the ninth planet, information about which first appeared about 4 years ago, is located at a relatively large distance from the star. The authors of the project, Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown, determined that it falls into a group intersection of orbits along which other celestial bodies move. In this regard, it is practically impossible to see it from Earth.
Experts believe that the alleged body is ten times more massive than Earth. The duration of its complete revolution around the sun is more than 17 thousand Earth years. Currently, scientists continue to work on research into the mysterious object. In order to confirm its presence, next year it is planned to send a special apparatus to it, which will be able to take several pictures.
