A Tenth Planet Could Be Warping Our Outer Solar System
Scientists have just found warping in the Kuiper Belt that suggests there might be a tenth planet. How The Mysterious Planet 9 Is Tilting Our Solar System - https://youtu.be/Yo0Bz-8ZeR8...
==========
The bodies of the Kuiper Belt out beyond Pluto are small and far away, but they have a lot to tell us. Namely, their orbits speak volumes, and a new study is hinting that there might be a gravitational mass lurking out in this distant region of our solar system. And some people are saying it’s possibly a tenth planet. But, that might be a bit premature. On the whole, our solar system is pretty neatly organized. All the planets orbit more or less in line with each other. They average out to be right along what’s called the “invariable plane”. Things get chaotic even further from the Sun. Like in the Oort Cloud, which is 5,000-100,000 AU away. The Oort Cloud isn't a disk. It's actually a cloud that envelopes our solar system. Relatively closer ...
