The new potential dwarf planet defies the theory of the planet's new planet

A team of scientists from the Institute for Advanced Study School of Natural Sciences by Princeton, New Jersey, could have found a new dwarf planetpotentially leading to more evidence of a theoretical super-plan.

Scientists announced in a press release that they had found a trans-neptune object (TNO), named Code 2017of201, located in front of the icy and desolate region of the Kupller belt.

The TNO, which is described as minor planets which orbit the sun at a greater distance than Neptune, were found at the edge of our solar system.

Although there are many other TNOs in the solar system, which makes 2017F201 special is its large size and its extreme orbit.

One of the team leaders, Sihao Cheng, with Jiaxuan Li and Eritas Yang from Princeton University, discovered.

The team used advanced calculation methods to identify the object's distinctive trajectory model in the sky.

“The aphelion of the object – the point furthest from the orbit of the sun – is more than 1600 times that of the orbit of the earth,” said Cheng in the press release. “Meanwhile, its perihelion – the point closest to its orbit of the sun – is 44.5 times that of the orbit of the earth, similar to the orbit of Pluto.”

2017of201 takes about 25,000 years to orbit the sun, making suggest that “he must have experienced close meetings with a giant planet, which makes him ejected on a large orbit”.

Cheng also added that there could have been more than one step in its migration.

“It is possible that this object was first ejected in the Oort cloud, the region most distant from our solar system, which houses many comets, then returned,” said Cheng.

This discovery has important implications for the current understanding of the arrangement of our external solar system.

According to NASACalifornia Institute of Technology (Caltech) astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown in January 2016 announced research that has provided evidence of a planet approximately 1.5 times the size of the earth in the external solar system.

However, the existence of planet X or the planet is strictly theoretical because no astronomer has in fact observed such a planet.

“Even if the progress of telescopes has enabled us to explore parts distant from the universe, there is still a lot to discover on our own solar system,” said Cheng. (Reuters / ESA / Hubble & Nasa / Handout via Reuters)

The theory puts the planet about the same size As a NeptuneWell passed Pluto somewhere near the Kuiper belt, where 2017of201 was located.

If there is, it is theorized to have a mass up to 10 times more than the earth with a distance of up to 30 times more than Neptune to the sun.

Between 10,000 and 20,000 years of land would take a complete orbit around the sun.

However, the area beyond the Kuiper belt, where the object is found, had already been considered essentially empty, but the discovery of the team suggests that this is not the case.

Cheng said in the press release that 2017OF201 only had 1% of its orbit visible for us.

“Even if the progress of telescopes has enabled us to explore parts distant from the universe, there is still a lot to discover on our own solar system,” said Cheng.

NASA said that if Planet nine exists, it could help explain the unique orbits of certain smaller objects in the Kuiper's remote belt.

Currently, the new planet remains apart from a theory, but the existence of this distant world is based on gravitational models in the external solar system.
