A team of scientists from the Institute of Advanced School of Natural Sciences In Princeton, New Jersey, May have found new A dwarf planetwill potentially lead to additional evidence of the theoretical superplanet.
In a press release, scientists have announced that they had found the object of Trans-Neptune (TNO), called the Code 2017Of201, located past the icy and deserted area of the merchant.
Tno, described as minor planets that ornate the sun at greater distance than Neptune were found on the outskirts of our solar system.
Although there are many other TNOs in the solar system, making 2017Of201 special, it is its large size and extreme orbit.

One of the teams leading, Sikhao Chen, together with Jiaxuan Li and Eritas Yang from Princeton University, made a discovery.
The team used advanced computing methods to identify the distinctive picture of the trajectory in the sky.
“The object of the object is the farthest point in the orbit from the sun – more than 1600 times than the earth orbit,” Chen said in the release. “Meanwhile, its perigelion is the closest point in orbit to the sun – 44.5 times greater than the orbit of Earth, similar to the orbit of Pluto.”
2017Of201 takes about 25,000 years to orbit the sun, forcing Jan to assume that “he probably felt close meetings with the giant planet, causing him to be thrown into wide orbit.”

Chen also added that his migration may have been more than one step.
“It is possible that this facility was first thrown into the Oort cloud, the farthest region in our solar system, where many comet lives and then sent back,” Chen said.
This discovery has significant consequences for modern understanding layout External solar system.
According to NASAThe California Institute of Technology (Caltech) Astronomers Konstantin Batigin and Mike Brown in January 2016 announced research that provided evidence of the planet approximately 1.5 times larger than land in the external solar system.
However, the existence of the planet X or the planet is nine strictly theoretical, since no astronomer has actually observed such a planet.
“Despite the fact that the successes in the telescope allowed us to explore the distant parts of the universe, there is still a lot to learn about our own solar system,” Chen said. (Reuters/ESA/Hubble & Nasa/Makeout via Reuters)
Theory puts the planet approximately the same size Like a neptuneFar past Pluto somewhere near the Kuiper’s belt where 2017Of201 was located.
If it exists, theoretically has a mass of up to 10 times more than the earth, with a distance of 30 times further than the Neptune to the sun.
It will be needed between them 10 000 and 20,000 land to make one complete orbit around the sun.
However, the area outside the Quiper’s belt, where the object is located, was previously considered empty, but the opening of the team suggests that this is not the case.

In the Chen release, he stated that in 2017Of201 there was only about 1% of his orbit that we are visible.
“Even in spite of Good luck in the telescope They gave us the opportunity to explore the distant parts of the universe, there is still a lot to learn about our own solar system, ”Chen said.
NASA noted that if the planet nine exists, it can help explain the unique orbit of some smaller objects in the far belt of Kuiper.
Today, the planet is nine all over the theory, but the existence of this distant world relies on gravitational patterns in the external solar system.
