We still don't know for sure if there's a ninth planet in our solar system, but a new discovery could help to prove that ...

A tiny object far beyond Pluto, newly discovered by the Subaru Telescope, could reshape our understanding of the early Solar ...

A stronomers have discovered an incredibly rare non-planetary body lurking on the outer reaches of the Solar System, which ...

"It is possible that a planet once existed in the solar system but was later ejected, causing the unusual orbits we see today ...

Researchers use the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii to find a small object on the outer edge of the Solar System. Nicknamed ...

Planet Nine should appear stationary over the course of a single day but show detectable movement over months.

For reference, Pluto’s average distance from the Sun is about 40 AU, so 2023 KQ14 is quite distant. At 23.4 billion miles (37 ...

Growing up, I was taught that there were nine planets in the solar system. That all changed in 2006, when the International Astronomical Union voted to demote Pluto’s status to that of dwarf planet.

If Planet 9 is on the smaller side, dark, and really far away, he explains, "it's going to be on the edge of Vera Rubin detection, and Vera Rubin may not find it." ...

Astronomers have a potential Planet Nine candidate, detected via infrared radiation. This candidate's orbit is very different from what's predicted for Planet Nine. The candidate may be a false ...

Planet Nine is a hypothetical planet, first theorised by astronomers from California Institute of Technology (Caltech) back in 2016. Said to have a mass about five to 10 times that of Earth, this ...

But even if it doesn't spot Planet 9 directly, the Rubin Observatory might find some more minor planets, ones whose orbits might be affected by Planet 9. And that could provide additional evidence ...
