So many of us have been disappointed by the fact that the good old Pluto was booted from heavenly range, but the same astronomer who determined that the dwarf planet has not been up to maybe just compensated for the loss of an exciting new discovery.
Caltech professor of planetary astronomy Mike Brown is back and he is playing with our galactic terms with the discovery of what the researchers ask planet Neuf.
All this came when Brown and his colleague Konstantin Batygin Caltech began looking in strange orbits of some objects from just beyond Neptune.
In a study published in The Astronomical Journal , astronomers have concluded that these odd orbital models are affected by the presence of a massive planet we have never seen before.

After conducting extensive research, Brown believes that the planet Nine are out there hiding waiting to be found. "I am ready to take on paris anyone who is not a believer" he joked in an interview with NPR.

scientists actually studying the possibility of the existence of the planet nine for a while now, because it was the only logical way to explain why the bodies beyond Neptune have odd orbits.

The best part is that Brown really believes that the telescopic technology will allow us to get a visual of the planet over the next few years.

" I want to know what it is. I want to see what's really there, "said Brown. "It will hurt when someone finds it and it is not me -. But I guess that will happen, and I'm ready to feel the pain "

So what do you think? If you ask me, I am for the addition of another planet in the Milky way fam, so I choose to believe in this research. I hope that NASA has a sort of official Planet Nine naming contest, because I have so many ideas (really awful).
