Scientists may have discovered ninth planet on far reaches of solar system
N INVISIBLE giant is lurking on the edge of our solar system. Scientists are hailing the possible discovery of a new planet 10 times the size of Earth. The object follows a “bizarre, highly elongated orbit in the distant solar system,” taking it — on average — some 20 times further from the Sun as Neptune, say researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Researchers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown say they found the planet through mathematical modelling and computer simulations, and have not yet observed the object directly. But they are convinced it is there. “For the first time in over 150 years, there is solid evidence that the solar system’s planetary census is incomplete.”
