Know The Unseen

Giant Exo Planets The recent discovery of 2012 VP113, a Sedna-like body and a potential additional member of the inner Oort cloud, prompted Trujillo & Sheppard (2014) to note that a set of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) in the distant solar system exhibits unexplained clustering in orbital elements. Specifically, objects with perihelion distance larger than the orbit of Neptune and semi-major axis greater than 150 AU – including 2012 VP113 and Sedna – have arguments of perihelia, ω, clustered approximately around zero. A value of ω = 0 requires that the object’s perihelion lies precisely at the ecliptic, and during ecliptic-crossing the object moves from south to north (i.e. intersects the ascending node). While observational bias does preferentially select for objects with perihelia (where they are closest and brightest) at the heavily observed ecliptic, no possible bias could select only for objects moving from south to north. Recent simulations (de la Fuente Marcos & de la F...

Planet 9 Hypothesis In Today’s world, everyone is aware about the how the Solar System works. But still there are many unanswered questions which makes the Solar System. Most Important and most basic of them being, what are the boundaries of the Solar System. For decades, we used to think that the last planet that is the Neptune(or Pluto earlier) is the last end of the our Solar System. But as the recent studies which includes the result of various new telescopes and many AI simulated models predicts that there’s a large part of our Solar System which is still not known. What is the requirement of such theories and predictions? The reason why the scientist community is working on more and more of such theories is that there are many irregularities in the present known and accepted models of our Solar System. These include:- The tilted axis of sun and most planets  Planets revolving outside the solar plane  Strange orbits of trans-neptue bodies  Periodic ...
