New findings from an international team of astronomers suggest the existence of a mysterious ninth planet, orbiting far beyond Neptune. This planet, possibly an ice giant, lies roughly 46.5 to 65.1 billion miles from the sun, which is almost 20 times further than Pluto. The study narrows down previous candidates and implies that conditions on this remote planet would be harsher than those on Earth, potentially hosting extremophiles. This research builds on hypotheses from 2016 and could have significant implications for our understanding of celestial bodies in our solar system.
New evidence suggests that Planet Nine, an unseen celestial object beyond Neptune, could significantly expand our understanding of the solar system, potentially challenging existing theories.
Astronomers have recently focused on one potential object, located between 46.5 to 65.1 billion miles from the sun, which could be classified as an ice giant like Uranus.
