“Planet Y”… A Hidden World Hiding In The Solar System!

This exciting revelation came in a recent study published by the specialized scientific journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical, where a team from Princeton University analyzed the movement of 50 space objects in the Kuiper Belt, the region beyond the planet Neptune.

The researchers concluded that analysis of orbital data for small celestial bodies indicates the presence of an unexplained gravitational force other than the presence of an undiscovered planet, which affects the paths of these bodies and leads to their deviation from their expected path.

Scientists named this hypothetical planet “Planet Y”. Mathematical calculations showed that it may be similar to Earth in terms of rock composition, with estimates of its mass between that of Mercury and that of Earth.

Mathematical models also indicate that the distance between Planet Y and the sun may reach 200 times the distance between Earth and the sun, which makes it much closer than the hypothetical planet “X”, whose existence was previously promoted.

But despite promising evidence, there is still a long way to go to prove the existence of Planet Y. Dr. Samantha Lawler from the University of Regina explained that the size of the sample studied is still limited, while Professor Patrick Likaoka from Kindai University considered the hypothesis “reasonable but needs more proof.”

Scientists place high hopes on the Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile, which recently began its observation operations equipped with the largest digital camera in the world. Researchers expect that the observatory will be able to provide a decisive answer about the existence of this planet within the next three years.
