Astronomen haben möglicherweise gerade den ersten echten Hinweis auf den Planeten neun gefunden | Das Forschungsteam nutzte eine 23-jährige Kluft zwischen den IRAs und dem AKari-Infrarot-All-Sky-Umfragen. Diese große Zeittrennung ermöglichte es ihnen, nach langsamen Objekten zu suchen. Sie fanden 13 Objekte und verengten es auf 1.

Oh sure, it’ll be planet nine for a while until we all get used to it and love it and then they’ll say „nah, it’s a dwarf planet so we’re back to 8“ lol
>Planet Nine’s existence was first proposed in 2016 by astronomers ***Konstantin Batygin*** **and** ***Mike Brown*** after they noticed unusual orbital clustering among several trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs).
People have been searching for an additional planet since the mid-nineteenth century. It was just called Planet X back then, because we had 9 at the time…
I’m still holding out for the unlikely scenario that it’s a planetary-mass black hole
Really hope that the Nibiru, Marduk or whatever advanced civilization comes with that planet and whoops our ass for being naughty.
I hope its a primordial black hole, imagine having that in our cosmic backyard and the science we could gain from it.
This is cool and exciting. I hope there are follow-up observations by infrared telescopes.
