Scientists discover hidden planet in our solar system that could have life

Astronomers have identified new elements that reinforce the case of a mysterious ninth planet at the ends of our solar system, which may overturn what we know about the universe to date. An international team of scientists from Taiwan, Japan and Australia used 40 years of data from two space missions, aiming to identify signs of this distant planetary presence that moves around our sun. The case for the “planet nine” (or “planet X”, as NASA calls it) first appeared in 2016, when two astronomers from the California Institute of Technology showed evidence of a strong gravitational force far beyond Neptune, possibly from a large planet. The new study has managed to reduce the list of possible candidates from 13 to just one, which appears to be moving around the sun at a distance of about 46.5 to 65.1 billion miles. For a comparison, Pluto, who lost his status as a ninth planet in 2006, […]
