It’s long been theorized that there is a planet in our solar system that is beyond Neptune and Pluto. Amy is here to discuss new evidence that might back up this theory.

Astronomers Find Evidence Of Undiscovered Huge Planet In Our Solar System. The quest for a “Planet X”or Nibiru beyond Neptune has been going on for more than a century. Recently, two dwarf planets Senda and 2102 VP113 have been identified with orbits extending to distances hundreds of times further from the Sun than our own.
–
Distant as these orbits are, they are too close to be part of the Oort Cloud, a collection of comets that mostly orbit at distances beyond 5000 AU. Instead it is thought that these objects formed closer to the sun. The gravitational influence of a large planet is one explanation of how their orbits changed. The theory has its own problems – if we can’t explain how objects like these came to be orbiting at such distances, then it’s equally unclear how a theoretical planet came to be there.
