Hypothetical Planet Nine Might Be Closer To Us Than Previously Thought
Three years ago astronomers proposed the existence of a ninth planet in the Solar System. The planet is supposed to orbit further out than anything we have yet seen within our Solar System, but according to the most recent model, if it exists it is closer to us than originally thought. And a bit smaller too. The model is discussed … Continue reading
Farout Makes Way for FarFarOut, New Furthest Object in Our Solar System Has Been Discovered
The universe has a way of surprising even its most ardent observers. Scott Sheppard, an astronomer at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., was scheduled to give a lecture on what was the furthest known object in the solar system. And then, just a day before his scheduled talk, he discovered an even further one. “This is hot … Continue reading
Discovery of Solar System Object Provides Further Evidence of a Hidden Planet Nine
A strange dwarf world was found by astronomers providing even more evidence that a giant planet is lurking at the edge of our solar system. There might be a large planet lurking somewhere at the very edge of our solar system, and astronomers are hunting for it. While they have yet to find direct evidence of the planet, a recent … Continue reading
Medieval Tapestry May Contain Proof of ‘Planet Nine’ Sewn into it
Man and even ancient man have been gazing at the stars even before the invention of telescopes and other visual tools. We have some ways of knows what they might have looked at but imagine how different the skies might have been a very very long time ago, plus with no light pollution it must have been an awe inspiring … Continue reading
Something is Hiding Beyond Pluto at the Edge of Our Solar System, the Math Proves it
No, it’s not Pluto. Unfortunately for die-hard astronomy fans, Pluto is still languishing in its dwarf planet classification, and now it may become replaced by an even more distant planet, hidden somewhere in the mysterious Kuiper Belt. The supposed planet, creatively nicknamed Planet Nine, has not been proven to exist yet, but astronomers have a wealth of data that points … Continue reading
Planet Nine Might Be Our Solar System’s Missing ‘Super Earth’
Planet Nine is out there, and astronomers are determined to find it, according to a new statement from NASA. In fact, mounting evidence suggests it’s hard to imagine our solar system without the unseen world. The hypothetical planet is believed to be about 10 times more massive than Earth and located in the dark, outer reaches of the solar system, … Continue reading
4 Possible Candidates for Planet 9 Found, Further Observations Required to Confirm
Astronomers have been hunting for Planet Nine – the large, mysterious body thought to lurk at the edge of our solar system – ever since researchers at Caltech published evidence of its existence last year. Ordinary people have now joined the search. And they’ve made some intriguing finds. Participants in a citizen science campaign hosted by the crowdsourcing program Zooniverse, … Continue reading
Search for “Planet 9” in Our Solar System, Aussie Researchers Ask Amateur Stargazers to Help
The Australian National University (ANU) has called on amateur astronomers to help its researchers find a new planet in the Solar System. The project to find “Planet 9” is let by ANU astrophysicist Dr Brad Tucker, and will require the help of passionate stargazers who could be the first to set eyes on something no human has seen before. “We … Continue reading
New Evidence Breakthrough Further Strengthens the Likelihood of Planet Nine (Planet X?) Existence
Evidence pointing at the existence of Planet Nine (Planet X?) continue to mount with a new study shedding light on how a binary asteroid system could have been been pushed apart into separate orbits because of influence from a massive planet beyond Pluto. Ever since the first study by Caltech researchers that claimed to show through orbits of Kuiper belt … Continue reading
Giant Galaxy Orbiting Milky Way Appears Out of Nowhere
While everyone with a telescope and a desire to be famous is busy trying to be the first to discover Planet X or Planet Nine or Nibiru, a giant galaxy somehow snuck into orbit around our own Milky Way galaxy. Shouldn’t someone be fired or at least demoted to Junior Astronomer in Charge of Watching That Spot on Jupiter? Seriously, … Continue reading
