Does Planet 9 Exist

A planet has been predicted to orbit the sun with a period of 10 000 years a mass 5x that of Earth on a highly elliptical and inclined orbit What evidence supports the existence of such a strange object at the edge of our solar system Huge thanks to Prof Konstantin Batygin Caltech Prof David Jewitt UCLA I had heard about Planet 9 for a long time but I wondered what sort of evidence could support the bold claim a planet at the very limits of our ability to detect one so far out that its period is over 60 times that of Neptune The planet 9 hypothesis helps explain clustering of orbits of distant Kuiper belt objects It also explains how some of these objects have highly inclined orbits - up to 90 degrees relative to the plane of the solar system Some are orbiting in reverse Plus their orbits are removed from the orbit of Neptune the logical option for a body that could have ejected them out so far The fact that the perihelion is so far out suggests another source of gravity was essential for their peculiar orbits Special Thanks to Patreon Supporters Alfred Wallace Arjun Chakroborty Bryan Baker Chris Vargas Chuck Lauer Vose DALE HORNE Donal Botkin Eric Velazquez halyoav James Knight Jasper Xin Joar Wandborg Kevin Beavers kkm Leah Howard Lyvann Ferrusca Michael Krugman Mohammed Al Sahaf Noel Braganza Pindex Ron Neal Sam Lutfi Stan Presolski Tige Thorman Music from a http 3A 2F 2Fepidemicsound com a Observations - From Now On Magnified XY
