A team of scientists from the Institute of Advanced Educational Schools of Natural Sciences In Princeton, New Jersey, could find a new dwarf planetPotentially leads to more evidence of the theoretical superplanet.
Scientists announced in a press release that they found Trans-Neptune Object (TNO), called the Codov in 2017, located past the Ice and Desert region of the buyer.
TNO, which are described as insignificant planets that rotate in the sun at a greater distance than Neptune, were found on the edge of our solar system.
Despite the fact that there are many other TNOs in the solar system, what he does 2017 special, it is its large size and extreme orbit.

One of the leaders of the team, Sihao Chang, together with Giaksuan Lee and Eritas Yang from Princeton University, made a discovery.
The team used expanded computing methods to determine the characteristic trajectory of the object in the sky.
“The object of the object is the farthest point in orbit from the Sun – more than 1600 times more than in the orbit of the Earth,” Cheng said in the press release. “Meanwhile, his perigelion is the nearest point in its orbit to the Sun – 44.5 times more than in the orbit of the Earth, similar to the orbit of Pluto.”
2017f201 takes about 25,000 years in order for the orbit to the sun, which makes Yang to assume that “he had to experience close meetings with a giant planet, forcing him to throw it into a wide orbit.”

Cheng also added that there could be more than one step in his migration.
“It is possible that this object was first thrown into the ORT cloud, the most distant area in our solar system, in which many comets live, and then sent it back,” Cheng said.
This discovery has significant consequences for the current understanding of the layout of our External solar systemField
According to NASAAstronomer Konstantin Batigin and Mike Brown in January 2016 announced a study that provided evidence for the planet about 1.5 times more than the Earth in the external solar system in January 2016.
Nevertheless, the existence of the planet X or Planet Nine is strictly theoretical, since not a single astronomer actually observed such a planet.
“Despite the fact that the achievements in the field of telescopes allowed us to explore the distant parts of the universe, there are still many to learn about our own solar system,” Cheng said. (Reuters/ESA/Hubble & NASA/handout through Reuters)
The theory puts the planet in about the same size Like NeptuneFar from Pluto somewhere near the Kuiper belt, where 2017f201 was located.
If it exists, it is theoretized that the mass is 10 times more than the Earth with a distance of up to 30 times more than Neptune, to the Sun.
This will be required between 10,000 and 20,000 years of land Make one complete orbit around the sun.
Nevertheless, the region outside the Kuiper belt, where the object is located, was previously considered empty, but the opening of the team suggests that this is not so.

Cheng said that in 2017 in 2017 only about 1% of his orbit for us.
“Despite Achievements in telescopes They allowed us to explore the distant parts of the universe, there is still a lot to learn about our own solar system, ”Cheng said.
NASA mentioned that if there is a Dine Planet Dine, this can help explain the unique orbit of some small objects in the remote belt of Kuper.
At the moment, the planet nine remains everything except the theory, but the existence of this distant world is based on gravitational models in the external solar system.
