More Evidence Of Mysterious Ninth Planet Near Edge Of Solar System

Scientists have found more evidence of a ninth planet sitting at the edge of our solar system.

Objects have been spotted moving around unusually at the edge of our solar system. And according to one of the scientists who has argued that the hidden planet exists, the best explanation for the strange orbits is the huge mysterious Planet Nine

The Independent reports:

In January, a pair of scientists argued that they had found another planet, based on calculations using objects at the distant end of our solar system. By studying the orbit of six objects in the Kuiper Belt – a mysterious area thought to be filled of astroids and other icy objects – they argued that they were being affected by something large and previously unknown.

Now Mike Brown, who made those original claims, says that he has tracked another object in that Kuiper Belt that is also moving unusually. And its strange movement is exactly how what would be expected if Planet Nine is real, he claimed.

None of the claims has yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal or checked by other scientists. But the Canada France Hawaii Telescope is currently conducting the Outer Solar System Origins Survey, looking far into our solar system, and so will be able to check the claims as more Kuiper Belt objects are discovered.
