Study of the origin of the Ninth Planet

Researchers at the University of Sheffield believe that the Ninth Planet is most likely closer than previously thought. The dominant theory is that the mysterious and as yet undetected Ninth planet was drawn from a neighboring system. But the new theory says that the object should have been formed near the Sun.

The edge of our system has always remained a huge mysterious spot. In 1930, we managed to find Pluto, which in 2006 will be sent to the category of dwarfs. In 2016, we noted the oddities in the routes of Kuiper belt facilities. It made you think that there is a planet not found. We still do not see it, but we are already theorizing about the origin. It should be 10 times larger than Earth. But she could not have formed so much at such a distance. Previously thought that the whole thing in the seizure at the stage of the star cluster. But new data proves that this scenario has few chances.

The model shows that in the case of a star nursery, only 5-10 objects from 10,000 planets fall into the current position of the Ninth Planet. Therefore, the probability is extremely small. However, the planet could appear closer to the Sun and move away during distribution.
