We May Be on the Brink of Finding the Real Planet Nine

We May Be on the Brink of Finding the Real Planet Nine

  • If Brown's hidden world is real, Rubin will almost certainly find it or strong indirect evidence that it exists. "In the first year or two, we're going to answer that question," says Megan Schwamb, a planetary astronomer at Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland
  • and, just maybe, the solar system will once again have a ninth planet.

The article from Scientific American discusses the ongoing search for Planet Nine, a hypothetical planet in the outer reaches of our solar system. Astronomers have been looking for this planet due to its potential to explain the peculiar orbits of several Kuiper Belt objects. The article highlights that while no direct evidence has been found yet, the search has been refined with new data and techniques. Notably, the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii has been instrumental in this search, with its advanced capabilities allowing for deeper and broader sky surveys. The article also mentions that if Planet Nine exists, its discovery could be imminent due to improved observational strategies and the analysis of data from past surveys. Furthermore, the existence of Planet Nine could provide insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system, and its gravitational effects might help in understanding the dynamics of other celestial bodies in the outer solar system.
