"Unveiling the Elusive: Astronomers Close in on Planet Nine's Hidden Location"

Astronomers have narrowed down potential locations for the elusive "Planet Nine" in our Solar System, using data from the Pan-STARRS1 survey to eliminate 78 percent of previously identified areas. The hypothetical planet, believed to be two to four times the radius of Earth, was proposed in 2015 to explain the unusual clustering of objects beyond Neptune. While its existence is still uncertain, researchers continue to regard Planet Nine as the most likely hypothesis, citing its potential to explain observed phenomena in the outer Solar System.
