Ever since the discovery of the planet Neptune in 1846, astronomers have noticed that something was not right. The orbit of Neptune was being gravitationally influenced by some other, unknown body that was dubbed Planet X.
In 1930, it was thought that this body had been discovered with the discovery of Pluto, but that couldn’t have been the object that was influencing Neptune because it was too small.
The search for this mysterious object has continued to this day, and some astronomers think we are finally close to finding it.
Learn more about the hunt for Planet X, aka Planet 9, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
