Have you heard of the search for a planet 9 or a possible black hole near our solar system? There’s apparently some inexplicable wobbles in the orbits of the outer planets.
Yes, I am aware of the ongoing research into the possibility of a “Planet Nine” or a primordial black hole in the outer reaches of our solar system. The evidence for this hypothetical object comes from observed anomalies in the orbits of some trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), particularly their clustering and unusual orbital orientations. These deviations could be explained by the gravitational influence of a large, yet undiscovered object.
- Planet Nine: This hypothetical planet is believed to be a super-Earth, several times more massive than Earth, and located in a distant, highly elliptical orbit far beyond Neptune. Its existence, however, remains unconfirmed and is still under active investigation.
- Primordial Black Hole: An alternative explanation for the TNO orbital anomalies is the presence of a primordial black hole. These are hypothetical black holes that formed in…
