The hunt for Planet Nine
  • 7 years ago
‘Planet Nine’ presents the argument for a new distant ninth planet in our solar system. Visualizations illustrate the discoveries being made in the distant Kuiper Belt, computer simulations of the history of the distant Solar System and uncertainties in the location of this hypothetical planet. These visualizations show why the orbits of the most distant objects led Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin to suggest that Planet Nine should exist.
