Oct 4, 2023 · Astronomers think an undiscovered "Planet X" might have molded its orbit, but new research suggests that molding occurred in a one-off event. NASA / JPL-Caltech, with modifications by S&T. When Sedna was discovered more than a decade ago, its orbit — far beyond that of Neptune — baffled astronomers.
2 days ago · Some call the potential celestial object Planet X and some call it Planet 9 — as in, the ninth planet in our solar system now that Pluto has been demoted to a dwarf planet. But by any name, the interest is clearly high.
Jan 20, 2015 · It would take this new planet between 10,000 and 20,000 years to make just one full orbit around the Sun (where Neptune completes an orbit roughly every 165 years). When was it Discovered? Planet X has not yet been discovered, and there is debate in the scientific community about whether it exists.
2 days ago · Caltech researchers have found evidence of a giant planet tracing a bizarre, highly elongated orbit in the outer solar system. The object, which the researchers have nicknamed Planet Nine, has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the sun on average than does Neptune (which orbits the sun at an average ...
Feb 28, 2019 · NASA. Astronomers who suspect a hidden planet known as "Planet X" or "Planet Nine" is affecting the comings and goings of icy objects beyond Neptune, say we could soon lay eyes on the...
Apr 2, 2024 · In the early years of the search, the mystery world was known as Planet X. In the new millennium, the hunt for a ninth planet was renewed, this time under the name Planet Nine. To this day, a hypothetical ninth planet remains possible, yet elusive. Why might a ninth planet exist?
Feb 19, 2024 · A recently submitted study to The Astronomical Journal continues to search for the elusive Planet Nine (also called Planet X), which is a hypothetical planet that potentially orbits in the outer reaches of the solar system and well beyond the orbit of the dwarf planet, Pluto.
