Astronomers Close to Unveiling Possible Hidden Planet in Solar System

Astronomers are debating the existence of a potential ninth planet, known as Planet Nine, in our solar system. This hypothetical planet, inferred from the unusual orbits of trans-Neptunian objects, could reshape our understanding of the solar system. While some researchers are skeptical, others, like Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin, present evidence supporting its existence. The upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory, set to begin operations in 2025, may provide definitive answers by surveying the sky for this elusive planet.
