"Astronomers Use Massive Game of 'Connect the Dots' to Pinpoint 'Planet Nine's' Hiding Place"

Astronomers have narrowed down the potential location of the elusive "Planet Nine" in the outer solar system after ruling out over three-quarters of its suspected orbital pathway. Using data from the Pan-STARRS observatory, researchers believe they could find the hypothetical planet within the next few years. The planet, theorized to be around seven times more massive than Earth, has an elliptical orbit and is likely located between 500 and 600 astronomical units from the sun. Further surveys using the Subaru Telescope and the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory are planned to confirm its existence.
