"Planet Nine" Once upon a time, the solar system that contained Earth had nine planets, the 9th of which was called Pluto. However, eventually that title was taken away from Pluto, so now the solar system only has eight planets...or does it? Scientists have been looking at the outer reaches of the solar system and have noticed some strange anomalies, mainly in the orbits and paths of certain objects that don't line up with how objects should orbit the sun (which is the primary manipulator of the universe via its powerful gravity). Their theory is that somewhere out there in the outer realms of the solar system is a hidden planet...Planet Nine. Also called Planet X or a Rogue Planet. But more on that in a bit. I'm sure on some level this may seem very strange, as you would think that we would know if there was another planet out there, especially if it's as big as they think it is in order to affect the orbits of the objects mentioned. However, despite many man-made objects looking into space, we cannot possible cover the entire solar system with a "gaze", as the system is many millions of miles wide and long. This adds to both the strangeness and the mystery of Planet Nine, because since we can't see it, we don't know where it is right now, how big it is, what it's made of, and more. Yet, the science and theories that say it's there is sound. Should it be found, it would be a great historical discovery, but until that point, it's only a theory. The potential planet could have a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbit about 20 times farther from the Sun on average than Neptune. It may take between 10,000 and 20,000 Earth years to make one full orbit around the Sun. Which would help explain why we haven't been able to glimpse it. Since we don't know its orbit, and said orbit may take tens of thousands of lifetimes, we wouldn't know where to check for it first. And of course, unlike the other planets in the sky, the ancient astronomers from Egypt, China, Greece, Babylonia and more wouldn't be able to see it because of its distance from Earth. Which begs the question of where the true "origin" of Planet X came to be. 6. In The Beginning In January 2015, Caltech astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown announced new research that provided evidence of a giant planet tracing an unusual, elongated orbit in the outer solar system. The prediction was based on detailed mathematical modeling and computer simulations, not direct observation. This is important for what is coming up later. This large object could explain the unique orbits of at least five smaller objects discovered in the distant Kuiper Belt (which is a ring of dust and rocks and ice just beyond Neptune). "The possibility of a new planet is certainly an exciting one for me as a planetary scientist and for all of us," said Jim Green, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division. "This is not, however, the detection or discovery of a new planet. It's too early to say with certainty there's a so-called Planet X. What we're seeing is an early prediction based on modeling from limited observations. It's the start of a process that could lead to an exciting result." The Caltech scientists believe Planet X may have has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and be similar in size to Uranus or Neptune. It was also them who predicted that the orbit of the planet is about 20 times farther from our Sun on average than Neptune (which orbits the Sun at an average distance of 2.8 billion miles). To further make clear, there is no definitive proof that Planet X is out there at this moment. All that's been stated right now are theories and speculations based on various objects in the solar system that we have tracked. There are still a lot of questions as to what the planet may or may not be, if it is a planet at all. 5. Is It A Rogue Planet? Out there, somewhere in the universe, are planets that are both just like all the others in the universe, and yet are infinitely different. These are known as Rogue Planets. And they're called that for a very simple reason. It's because these planets, for whatever reason, were born to the universe...without being tied to a star. #InsaneCuriosity #PlanetX #TheSolarSystem
