Goblin, the candidate for the ninth planet on our solar system
News24xx.com - Last year, NASA said that the possibility of the emergence of the ninth planet in the solar system is getting closer to reality. Now, this expression is further strengthened by the latest research from the Carnegie Institution for Science.
The organization that focuses on scientific research finds a small rock object called TG387. They use the Japanese Subaru Telescope in Hawaii to see the presence of the object nicknamed The Goblin.
Indeed, TG387 was first discovered in 2015. Even so, the results of observations from Washington D.C. organization were contradictory with the movement of the object now raises an indication that the Goblin could be the ninth planet referred to by NASA.
One interesting fact from this is that it takes 40,000 years to complete one circle of the Sun. The ellipse-shaped orbit is also far outside the other planets. The closest position to the Sun is 65 Astronomical Units (AU), or 65 times the distance between Earth and the star. Another comparison, the furthest distance that Pluto has to the Sun is 49 AU.
Even so, researchers from the Carnegie Institution for Science did not find it at its farthest point. They managed to track the object when it was at a distance of about 80 AU from the Sun. Besides being very far out there, the size of it is very small. In fact, Pluto, which is now called as Dwarf Planet, has a size 7 times larger than that.
