The solar system appears to have a new ninth planet. Astronomers say a Neptune-sized planet lurks beyond Pluto.
Astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena announced evidence that a body nearly the size of Neptune””but as yet unseen””orbits the sun every 15,000 years.
During the solar system”™s infancy 4.5 billion years ago, they say, the giant planet was knocked out of the planet-forming region near the sun.
Slowed down by gas, the planet settled into a distant elliptical orbit, where it still lurks today.
