New proofs of the existence of the ninth planet

Hey Planet Nine fans, a new eccentric KBO was discovered. And it is exactly where Planet Nine says it should be. pic.twitter.com/oZn0RDq8JF- Mike Brown (@plutokiller) March 24, 2016 g.Astronom Mike Brown, earlier this year told about obtaining circumstantial evidence of the existence in our solar system, the ninth planet, announced that a new confirmation of its existence. another object discovered in the Kuiper belt, whose behavior can be explained by the gravitational influence of Planet X.

In January 2016 a colleague Batygina Brown published a paper which showed that the movement of the six objects of the Kuiper belt is best explained by the presence in the solar system mass 10 Earth masses hitherto unknown planet in an eccentric orbit. Its orbit at the same time should vary from 200 to 1200 AU

This evidence is very indirect, the probability of presence in the system of a new planet with the scientific point of view is not high enough. Nine planets searched for many years, including the recent mission of the WISE, in which the space telescope from NASA specifically tried to spy it in the back of our planetary system.





The new Kuiper belt object was detected in the telescope Canada-France-Hawaii (at the time of construction in 1977, he was 6th in size telescope in the world), working on search program facilities at the external borders of the solar system (Outer Solar System Origins Survey, OSSOS ).

OSSOS program specifically studies the various objects of the Kuiper belt, hoping to confirm or deny the existence of the ninth planet.

While more work is describing the new object has not been published in a scientific journal and passed cross-checks.
