Scientists Uncover Hidden Earth-Like Planet in Our Solar System

TL;DR Summary
Scientists suggest the existence of an undiscovered Earth-like planet in the outer solar system based on the peculiar orbits of objects in the Kuiper Belt. Computer simulations indicate that this hypothetical planet would be around 1.5-3 times the mass of Earth and located 250-500 Earth-sun distances from the sun, with an inclined orbit of 30° to the plane of the solar system. The discovery of such a planet would have profound implications for planetary science and could revolutionize our understanding of the solar system's formation.
