Guys today i was alerted by the news that there could be two more planets out there in the kuiper belt.Scientists have found an icy world and it so seems that it's revolution is in sync with that of Neptune.
It is found in the region of Pluto.
May be it could be a planet instead of a dwarf.
Another highlighting point is that scientists suspect that it could be 10 times more massive than earth, considering its size it didn't necessarily be a rocky planet , it orbital sync with that of neptune also suggests that it had interacted with neptune.
Strange that a planet 10 times the size of earth is in the Kuiper belt.
Well if it were to be rocky it would be a revolutionary discovery consdering its distance from the sun.
This latest discovery is based on observations made with the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii and the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory telescope in Chile.
Scott S Sheppard from Carnegie Institution for Science and his collaborators Chadwick Trujillo from Gemini Observatory and David J Tholen from University of Hawaii have been conducting the widest, deepest survey ever to search out distant solar system objects.
Well my opinion on this discovery is that it is still the starting and we are yet to find strange things in our own solar system, turely the cosmos is mysteriously beautiful.
Do there exist many worlds, or is there but a single world? This is one of the most noble and exalted questions in the study of Nature.
