Scientists narrowed the search for the Ninth planet to one location in space

Researchers Continue the Search for the Mysterious Ninth Planet

Researchers, who published their work in The Astronomical Journal, continue the search for the mysterious Ninth Planet in our Solar System. They claim that there is only one place left where its discovery is likely.

Data from the Pan-STARRS Robotic Telescope Complex

Using data from the Pan-STARRS robotic telescope complex, scientists have covered a vast area of space in search of this mysterious planet. As a result, they have narrowed down the search area, ruling out about 78% of previously suggested possible locations.

The Characteristics of the Ninth Planet

According to their data, the Ninth Planet is located at a distance of about 500 astronomical units from the Sun and has a mass roughly 6.6 times that of Earth. Although the planet has not yet been directly detected, scientists claim that they have already studied 80% of the regions in the outer Solar System where it may be located.

Hope for Future Discoveries

Only 20% of unexplored areas remain, where the mysterious Ninth Planet could possibly be hiding. Scientists hope that future observations of this part of space using a new ground-based telescope at the Vera Rubin Observatory will help find this mysterious planet and uncover its secrets.
