Planet Nine Does Exist, NASA Evidence Suggests

Planet Nine is out there, and astronomers are determined to find it, according to a new statement from NASA. In fact, mounting evidence suggests it's hard to imagine our solar system without the unseen world.

The hypothetical planet is believed to be about 10 times more massive than Earth and located in the dark, outer reaches of the solar system, approximately 20 times farther from the sun than Neptune is. While the mysterious world still has yet to be found, astronomers have discovered a number of strange features of our solar system that are best explained by the presence of a ninth planet, according to the NASA statement.

"There are now five different lines of observational evidence pointing to the existence of Planet Nine," Konstantin Batygin, a planetary astrophysicist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, said in the statement. "If you were to remove this explanation and imagine Planet Nine does not exist, then you generate more problems than you solve. All of a sudden, you have five different puzzles, and you must come up with five different theories to explain them."

Pluto was demoted a handful of years ago.

Especially when this one gets named Persephone, like it often is in the Sci-Fi books.

I don't care for Mike Smith

I know a lot of people think he's a great astronomer but to me he will always be the man who killed Pluto.

Personally I think the world's best living astronomer is Carolyn Porco. She knows more about Saturn than anyone

I did, @Freya ! My beloved Braves are finished for the season, so I thought it was time. And I'm too lazy to change my avatar twice within a couple of weeks so I went ahead and used the Halloween one.

You can have my slice of pizza. I'm still doing the low carb thing, so it's not currently on my diet. Boo.

He was observed having a face-to-face with Charon - it might have come up then...
