On March 14, 2012, the first-pass all-sky survey catalog of the WISE mission was released. [21] The co-added (AllWISE) post-cryo second survey of the sky was released at the end of 2013. [ 22 ] On March 7, 2014, NASA reported that the WISE telescope had ruled out the possibility of a Saturn-sized object out to 10,000 AU, and a Jupiter-sized or ...
Hyperion, a large distant 10th planet theorized in 2000 to have had an effect on Kuiper Belt formation. [4] Tyche, a hypothetical planet in the Oort Cloud supposedly responsible for producing the statistical excess in long period comets in a band. [5] Results from the WISE telescope survey in 2014 have ruled it out. [6] [7] [8]
In March 2016, the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society published a paper by Daniel Whitmire (who had proposed the existence of Tyche) in which he reconsidered a modified version of the Nemesis model he had first proposed in 1985 [121] due to recent speculations concerning the possibility of a trans-Neptunian planet. [122]
Scientists say they have found new evidence that there is a hidden planet in our solar system. For years, some astronomers have been suggesting that unusual behaviour on the edge of our solar ...
Scientists have found a new Earth-like planet that could support alien life – just 40 light-years away. The planet is a remarkable discovery in the search for habitable worlds: it is slightly ...
The timeline of discovery of Solar System planets and their natural satellites charts the progress of the discovery of new bodies over history. Each object is listed in chronological order of its discovery (multiple dates occur when the moments of imaging, observation, and publication differ), identified through its various designations (including temporary and permanent schemes), and the ...
Curiosity surveyed the Gediz Vallis channel on March 31. This feature on Mount Sharp was likely formed by large floods of water and debris. - NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS
After all these years, we can still find something new in our solar system. Some of it is luck. We looked in the right place. The other is the precision of our instrumentation. [18] [15] After the announcement of Huya's discovery, the discovery team found precovery images of Huya taken with the Palomar Observatory's Samuel Oschin telescope on 9 ...
