Australian researchers ask stargazers to help find Planet 9
The Australian National University (ANU) has called on amateur astronomers to help its researchers find a new planet in the Solar System.
Canberra: The Australian National University (ANU) has called on amateur astronomers to help its researchers find a new planet in the Solar System.
The project to find "Planet 9" is led by ANU astrophysicist Dr Brad Tucker, and will require the help of passionate stargazers who could be the first to set eyes on something no human has seen before, Xinhua news agency reported.
"We have the potential to find a new planet in our Solar System that no human has ever seen in our two-million-year history," Tucker said in a statement released on Monday.
"Planet 9 is predicted to be a super Earth, about 10 times the mass and up to four times the size of our planet. It's going to be cold and far away, and about 800 times the distance between Earth and the sun. It's pretty mysterious." Tucker said.
