A recent study suggests the possible existence of a small, Earth-sized planet, dubbed 'Planet Y', in the outer Solar System, inferred from a 15-degree tilt in the Kuiper Belt objects' orbital plane, which could explain gravitational influences in that region. The discovery is not confirmed but provides a promising direction for future planetary searches.
Astronomers propose the existence of a new Earth-sized planet, 'Planet Y', in the Kuiper Belt based on orbital tilt patterns of Kuiper Belt objects, but its existence remains unconfirmed and will likely be investigated further with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
Astronomers propose the existence of a new potential planet, dubbed Planet Y, inferred from the tilted orbits of objects in the Kuiper Belt, with upcoming observations from the Vera Rubin Observatory expected to provide more definitive evidence.
Scientists analyzing the orbits of Kuiper Belt objects have found evidence suggesting the existence of a hidden planet, called Planet Y, which could be at least 25 times more massive than Pluto and located 100-200 times Earth's distance from the Sun. This discovery is based on the warped orbital plane of distant Kuiper Belt objects, and upcoming surveys like the LSST may confirm its existence.
Astronomers are exploring the possibility of a new, unseen planet called 'Planet Y' orbiting beyond Neptune, based on observed warp effects in Kuiper belt objects that suggest gravitational influence from a small, inclined planet. This hypothetical world could be smaller than Earth and located 100-200 AU from the Sun, with future observations from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory potentially confirming its existence.
Scientists have found hints of a possible undiscovered planet, dubbed 'Planet Y', orbiting far beyond Neptune, suggested by a warp in the Kuiper belt. This potential planet, smaller than Neptune and located 100-200 AU from the Sun, could be detected in upcoming surveys like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's LSST. The discovery is preliminary, and further observations are needed to confirm its existence, but it could reshape our understanding of the solar system's formation.
