The Hunt for Planet Nine: Caltech's Groundbreaking Discovery

Join Captain Tom Chrislin as we embark on a cosmic journey to explore one of the most exciting discoveries in modern astronomy—Planet Nine. In 2016, Caltech researchers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown uncovered evidence of a massive, mysterious planet lurking in the far reaches of our solar system. With 10 times the mass of Earth and an orbit 20 times farther than Neptune, Planet Nine could be shaping the orbits of distant Kuiper Belt objects and solving long-standing mysteries about our solar system.

In this captivating animated video, we dive into the incredible mathematical modeling and computer simulations that led to the prediction of Planet Nine. Could this elusive world bring back the era of nine planets? Watch to find out!
