"Unveiling the Location of Planet Nine in Our Solar System"

Astronomers have narrowed down the potential location of the elusive Planet X, also known as Planet 9, using data from the Pan-STARRS telescope. The hypothetical planet is estimated to be the fifth largest in our solar system, with a mass between that of Earth and Uranus, and could be around 500 AU away from the Sun. Despite significant progress, the planet remains undiscovered, but upcoming surveys like the Legacy Survey of Space and Time at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory offer hope for bringing Planet X into our known solar system, potentially providing insights into planetary science and explaining anomalies in the outer solar system's orbital patterns.

"The Hunt for the Solar System's Missing Planet"

A recent study in The Astronomical Journal aims to narrow down the potential location of the elusive Planet Nine, a hypothetical planet in the outer solar system. Using data from Pan-STARRS, researchers eliminated 78% of possible locations calculated from past studies and provided new estimates for its approximate size. While the study did not find Planet Nine, it significantly narrowed the search area, with follow-up studies planned using the LSST at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile. Discovering Planet Nine would provide valuable insights into the solar system's formation and evolution.
