Unraveling the Enigma: The Mysterious Influence of a Distant 'Planet Nine'

New research suggests that an Earth-sized planet, dubbed "Planet Nine," may exist in the outer solar system within the Kuiper Belt, beyond Neptune. Astronomers have struggled to explain the behavior of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), such as their detached orbits, high inclinations, and extreme orbits. The presence of a massive planet in the outer solar system could explain these observations. While there is no concrete evidence yet, researchers are developing models and planning an observational campaign to search for this hypothetical planet.
