Astronomers may have found first direct evidence of Planet Nine
Original: We may have found the first direct evidence of a ninth major planet in the Solar System
Astronomers report what could be the first direct evidence of a ninth major planet in the Solar System, a long-hypothesised distant world sometimes called Planet Nine. If confirmed, the discovery would restore the Solar System to nine major planets and reshape understanding of the outer reaches beyond Neptune, where the object is believed to orbit.
Why now: A possible direct detection of the long-sought Planet Nine would be a landmark discovery in planetary science.
