They find new evidence of a ninth planet in our solar system

The existence of a ninth planet has always been speculated so far, but the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has claimed that it could be at the outer edges of our solar system.

A ninth planet could be close to our solar system

NASA experts have stated that they suspect that the presence of the ninth planet has tilted the entire solar system towards a side and this gives them the clue to suspect if it exists.

Recreation of how this ninth planet could be

Estimate that it is approximately 10 times larger than planet Earth and is 20 times farther of the sun that the eighth planet, Neptune.Konstantin Batygin, a planetary astrophysicist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) said there is nco different lines of observational evidence pointing to the existence of Planet Nine.

«If you delete this explanation and imagine that Planet Nine does not exist, you generate more problems than you solve.Suddenly, you have five different puzzles, and you must invent five different theories to explain them, "Batygin added.

According to astronomers, a large planet not discovered in the limits of our solar system seems to be what makes our sun lean .

This unusual inclination of the Sun has been known since the mid-19th century, but is not frequently discussed because nobody has any idea that is what causes it.

Elizabeth Bailey, a graduate student at Caltech, led a study that suggests that a large and distant planet may be adding a force, like a wobble, to the solar system , giving the appearance that the sun is slightly inclined.

They find new evidence of a ninth planet in our solar system

Bailey explained that because Planet 9 is so massive and has an inclined orbit compared to the other planets, the Solar System has no choice but to turn slowly out of alignment.

When observing the planets, you may notice that they follow the same path through our sky as the sun.This is because the main planets of our solar system orbit around the Sun in an almost smooth plane , approximately a couple of degrees from each other.

According to Caltech scientists, however, this plane rotates with a inclination of six degrees with respect to to the sun , giving the appearance that the sun is tilted at an angle.Until now, no one had found a convincing explanation to explain that it produces such an effect.

Bailey He works with Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown of Caltech, whose work published in early 2016 predicts the presence of a ninth undiscovered planet, beyond Neptune.

As we said, the Brown and Batygin's work also concludes that the planet that has not yet been seen has approximately 10 times the size of the Earth with an orbit that is 20 times farther from the Sun on average than that of Neptune.

Did you think there could be more planets in our Solar System still undiscovered? How many surprises are hidden in our vast Universe? What enigmas will be presented to us and we will solve it?

The town where women chose to be single mothers

The fact that a woman chooses to be single mother , today, is no longer news in most of our countries.Particularly, what makes this story special and we want to include it in our space for Science Daily Online, is that most of the women of a locality in Vietnam called Loi, chose to be single mothers more than 30 years ago. In what way? Asking for a "xin with", that is, asking a man for a timely "exchange" without further obligation, with which to father a child and be able to raise him alone , thus covering the desire to be a mother (if one wishes) without having to marry, and without this also being frowned upon.The history that originated this practice has its roots during the Vietnam War, hence numerous anthropologists have approached this little corner of Southeast Asia to understand it a little better. We explain it to you. The choice of Loi women We will start by putting ourselves in context.The Vietnam War was a very long and sad conflict wi...

Content Index The Westermarck Effect: The psychological explanation of the Tabu of Incest Although it seems strange to us, not all societies considered incest as a tabu when it came to their rulers.By believing that the origin of kings and queens was divine and in order to preserve that superior blood, in some cultures the real incest was practiced (already in our blog we have addressed Incest among the Egyptian pharaohs and incest among the kings of Hawaii, for example).

Are we all connected?

Today, in Science Daily Online we bring you a phenomenon that seems recent, but has actually been studied for over 100 years.Do you want to know what it is? Theory of the Six Degrees of Separation confirms that any individual on our planet is connected to another with a set/chain of acquaintances with no more than 5 points of union or links.Based on this theory, only 6 steps separate us from another person on Earth.Six levels or degrees. The initial idea arose in 1929 by the writer Frigyes Karinth , in a story called Chains . Only 6 levels separate us from a stranger Later, in 1967, Stanley Milgran , a well-known sociologist, investigated this phenomenon with an experiment to prove the theory.To do this, American inhabitants of the Central part participated-West of America , c on the objective of delivering a package to a stranger in the city of Massachusetts, located thousands of kilometers away.The idea was to provide data such as the name, general location and lo...

The man with a star in his eye

Eventually, if we live long enough, many of us will have to face the cataracts, that process in which the lens is losing flexibility and becoming opaque until partially or totally blocking the view.This hardening process usually starts from 45 years, although genetic factors or diseases such as diabetes can lead to premature appearance of cataracts; and there are also the accidents , which can even create a star in your eye , as in the two cases we will talk about next. The man with a star in his eye The first case was mentioned in 2013 in the New England Journal of Medicine : a 55-year-old man, originally from Austria, went to the doctor because he looked worse and worse for an eye that had been hit nine months earlier.Upon examination, doctors found a star-shaped cataract in the eye . Although the star shape in the eye is original, the general effect is not so much, as doctors who specialize in sports trauma can testify: when you receive a direct blow, the shock wave can de...
