New data suggests mystery planet exists [Video]

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have found new evidence that further suggests there is a ninth planet in our solar system. 

Nicknamed “Planet Nine,” researchers said that the most recent data shows something big is able to pull objects from outer space toward our sun and these objects occasionally cross Neptune’s line of orbit. 

The most plausible explanation, according to some researchers, is that a planet is creating these interferences. 

“Without Planet Nine, these objects can’t be pushed inward past Neptune very often,” Konstantin Batygin, lead author of the study and astronomer at Caltech, told FOX TV Stations. 

Researchers created simulations both with and without the hypothesized Planet Nine. 

Below, the first panel shows a simulation with Planet Nine included. What’s more, these simulations actually align with what was observed over long-period orbits that cross Neptune’s path, Batygin explained. 

The second panel below shows a simulation without Planet Nine and it failed to produce what was observed by researchers.
