Evidence for the hypothetical existence of Planet 9 increases

The video discusses the potential existence of Planet 9, a hypothesized planet in our solar system. Co-authored by Michael Brown, the study suggests that Planet 9 is unlikely to be a fluke, with a very low chance of the observed clustering of objects being coincidental. The new study proposes that Planet 9 is closer to the sun than previously thought, making it brighter and easier to detect. It may be a rocky super Earth or a gaseous mini Neptune. The planet likely formed near Uranus and Neptune but was displaced by Saturn's gravity. Future observations may confirm its existence using data from the Vera Rubin Observatory.
