Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Ninth planet may have been discovered, researchers say
The ninth planet? 10 years after having lost a planet in our solar
system, a new planet seems to emerge.
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology, or
CalTech, reported to have found theoretical evidence of a new planet in the
outer solar system. Nicknamed Planet Nine is believed to be ten times heavier
than Earth and orbits the Sun in 10,000 to 20,000 years.
One of the researchers of this new discovery played a role to downgrade
the former ninth planet, Pluto, to a dwarf planet in 2006, which disappointed many.
Now he’s encouraging science and research community to find factual evidence of
this far-away planet.
Enjoy reading and learning about this new hope of adding a new family
member to our solar system.
Just in case, the other eight brothers and sisters in our solar family
are, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
