Similar conclusions prompted astronomers observing asteroids located on the orbits of Neptune and Pluto
According to the study, which mentions TASS referring to the website of the newspaper The Gardian, these celestial bodies can have a size comparable to the size of the Earth.
Similar conclusions prompted astronomers observing asteroids located on the orbits of Neptune and Pluto. Usually the trajectory of motion of celestial bodies around the Sun are certain permanent characteristics. Some of them, as it turned out, occasionally deviate from the standard route under the influence of the gravitational field of some invisible from Earth objects larger size.

Until recently, in the early 2000s, it was believed that the planets nine. However, in 2006 the International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto title of the planet due to the small size and unusual, highly inclined orbits, identifying it to the trans-Neptunian objects (TNO). Around the same period in the solar system have been discovered Pluto and similar celestial bodies, such as Eris, Makemake and Haumea, and scientists think seriously about the possibility of the existence of new planets orbiting the sun.
If the calculations of astronomers confirmed and major new facilities will be able to find it will be a revolutionary discovery that could radically change the representation of humanity about the solar system.
