Scientists at the California Institute of Technology say they have irrefutable evidence proving the theory of the existence of the so-called "Planet 9".
This planet is believed to be located in the most remote corners of our solar system and is 10 times larger than Earth.
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology, said that irrefutable evidence of the existence of this planet was discovered during the study of celestial bodies 13 in what is known as the "Kuiper Belt".
In this generation there are asteroids, comets and other celestial bodies of small size. During the observation of 13 of them, the researchers found that they all move at the same speed, as if attracted by a large force.
This shows the researchers, that the movement of these objects conditioned by a huge gravitational force, that only a gigantic planet may have.
The reason why this planet is not yet captured by telescopes, according to scientists, is that it is beyond the asteroid belt and other celestial bodies of small size, known as the "Kuiper Belt" that hamper visibility from Earth.
Scientists believe that "Planet 9" revolves in an orbit very abnormal about the sun and needs 10 thousand to 20 thousand years to achieve orbit complete, or more accurately, the year on this planet lasts from 10 thousand to 20 thousand years ground.
