California: Six years ago, astronomers found clear evidence of the possible presence of a mysterious ninth planet at the edge of our solar system. But this hypothetical world is known as 'Planet Nine' has not yet been observed.
Now scientists believe that they have finally devised a method that will allow them to find this planet. Experts say that 'Planet Nine' may be surrounded by 20 glowing moons which could be the key to confirming the existence of this mysterious planet. The moons are elongated due to the gravitational pull of the planet, which makes them easy to spot and if they are visible, they can be a clue to the hidden planet for astronomers. The reason why this planet cannot be seen directly is that it is at a great distance because the sunlight does not fall on it due to the distance. Astronomers believe that if it did exist, it would weigh about 10 times more than Earth and take 10,000 to 20,000 years to orbit the Sun.
