Know the secrets of 9th planet in our solar system

New evidence that scientists have found suggests that there may be a new planet in our solar system.

Unusual activity observed at the solar system's outermost points has raised the possibility of the existence of an unidentified celestial body.

Konstantin Batygin and his team have presented compelling statistical evidence supporting the existence of Planet Nine.

Studies of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), or objects beyond Neptune, have been conducted in an attempt to shed light on the existence of Planet Nine.

Because of their unstable movements brought on by their interactions with Neptune's orbit, TNOs are difficult to analyse.

The most logical explanation for TNO orbits came from simulations that the researchers ran incorporating Planet Nine among other variables.

By searching the sky for observations of far-off celestial objects, the soon-to-be Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile is anticipated to provide crucial information regarding the existence of Planet Nine.

The study focuses on trans-Neptunian objects, which are found beyond the planet Neptune and offer important clues about the existence of Planet Nine.

The simulations incorporating different parameters influencing TNO orbits offer compelling proof of Planet Nine's existence.
