Planet Nine is a hypothetical ninth planet in the outer region of the Solar System. [2] [4] Its gravitational effects could explain the peculiar clustering of orbits for a group of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs), bodies beyond Neptune that orbit the Sun at distances averaging more than 250 times that of the Earth i.e. over 250 astronomical units (AU).
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 ...
The missing Planet Nine is lurking somewhere in our solar system, and we're one step closer to discovering it. See why scientists think they can find Planet 9.
Discovery of Neptune. New Berlin Observatory at Linden Street, where Neptune was discovered observationally. Neptune as imaged by the Voyager 2 probe in 1989. The planet Neptune was mathematically predicted before it was directly observed. With a prediction by Urbain Le Verrier, telescopic observations confirming the existence of a major planet ...
The number of known planets in our solar system has risen and fallen over time. Planet nine may be orbiting far from the Sun, at the edge of our solar system. Astronomers, seeing odd ...
How many new asteroids must be discovered before we stumble upon the elusive Planet 9? Within the next decade we shall find out. When will we find Planet 9 — the unseen planet in our solar system?

Discrepancy between lack of evidence of advanced alien life and apparently high likelihood it exists This article is about the absence of clear evidence of extraterrestrial life. For a type of estimation problem, see Fermi problem. Enrico Fermi (Los Alamos 1945) The Fermi paradox is ...
As the search for the elusive planet continues to turn up zilch, astronomers are wondering if Newtonian physics needs reexamining.
