How Scientists Possibly Found The Solar System S Ninth Planet Nbc News Caltech researchers have found evidence of a giant planet tracing a bizarre, highly elongated orbit in the outer solar system. the object, which the researchers have nicknamed planet nine, has a mass about 10 times that of earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the sun on average than does neptune (which orbits the sun at an average distance of 2.8 billion miles). Brown and other astronomers have since found hundreds of large balls of ice like pluto, circling the sun, at the far reaches of our solar system. demoting pluto leaves us with eight planets. but. Scientists have discovered a possible new planet in our solar system for the first time in 170 years. evidence of this ninth planet was found on the far edge. Meanwhile, other astronomers suggested that two large planets in orbital resonance with one another would be necessary to explain the similarities of the orbits of these extreme objects, which are.
