Scientists have discovered the mysterious “Planet 9” hidden on the edge of our solar system and it has been claimed that this hidden world could cause mass extinction.

 

A top astronomer claimed that the ninth planet, which is referred to as Planet X, once caused a mass extinction called “The Great Dying” 252 million years ago. Fortunately, the catastrophe takes place once every 27 million years giving humanity nine million years to prepare for it.

 

Dr Daniel Whitmire said: "I feel very positive about the new evidence [about Planet 9] though the current estimates are not completely consistent with our Planet X model,"

 

"However it may be possible that a smaller closer planet could also explain the anomalies in the orbits of the Kuiper belt objects, since there are uncertainties in their estimates."

 

Although Planet X has not been seen, Caltech researchers have predicted its existence based on their analysis on the orbits of objects that float on the edge of the solar system. It is claimed that it is 10 times larger than Earth.
