Scientists find new evidence of the existence of Planet Nine

Liputan6.com, Jakarta – New research from the Caltech team to be published provides additional evidence to support its existence ninth planet. In an issue published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, professor of planetary astronomy at the California Institute of Technology, Michael Brown, said that it is highly unlikely that there is no planet nine.

Announced from the Live Science page on Wednesday (25/09/2024), researchers have now observed the long-term movement of the outer trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) orbit. solar system. They also defined different orbital positions based on its motion.

Expert they also submitted data regarding Neptune’s gravity and galactic tides. They found that the most plausible explanation for the irregular movements of these objects is an undiscovered giant planet.

However, the situation planet nine have so far not been confirmed in detail. In 2015, the same research team found mathematical evidence of the existence of a planet with a mass ten times that of Earth.

Research in 2015 showed that planet nine takes between 10,000 and 20,000 Earth years to orbit the sun once. Scientists also revealed that the planet orbits the sun following a long, elliptical path.

Its gravitational influence is thought to be responsible for TNO’s unusual orbital clustering relative to the Sun. Launching the Space page on Wednesday (25/09/2024), it is possible that planet nine will be confirmed through a large digital camera.

The Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile will soon begin the Time and Space Heritage Survey (LSTT) using the largest digital camera ever built. Scientists will study the entire sky every night with an 8.4 meter high telescope mirror called the LSST camera.

The LSST camera has a sharpness of 3,200 megapixels and is the same size as a car. This camera weighs 3 metric tons or half the weight of a male African elephant.

The wide field of view from the LSST camera will capture various objects in the solar system. This large digital camera will be able to confirm evidence of planet nine, which is believed to exist.

If any of these assumptions are delusions caused by observational bias, Vera Rubin’s observations will reveal this. In addition, this large digital camera can also strengthen the evidence of the existence of planet nine and find more TNOs, as well as show the possibility of the same effect.

This large digital camera will test all evidence of gravity with a new study that is independent and unbiased like previous studies.
