Could there be more undiscovered planets in our Solar System?

Recently in Science Daily Online we tell you about the potential discovery of a new planet in our solar system, deduced by some astronomers due to certain disturbances observed in the orbits of the dwarf planets that are beyond Neptune and whose most obvious explanation, according to these astronomers would be the presence of a planet of similar size to that of the eighth gas planet.

Now, other observers propose that this new ninth planet may not be the last of its kind.

Could there be more undiscovered planets in our Solar System?

Our knowledge of the celestial objects present in the so-called transneptunian space , and extending as far as gravitational influence reaches of the Sun, it is still quite limited.To give you an idea: astronomers call Astronomical Unit, UA , at the distance from Earth to Sun; our eight known planets are included in the first 30 AU, the Kuiper Belt -where the dwarf planets like Pluto move-is 50 AU and the area of influence of the Sun extends to about 100 AU.Very dark to explore.

Could there be more undiscovered planets in our Solar System?

But our ability to observe is increasing thanks to the incorporation of new instruments such as the SOUL (Atacama Large Milimeter/submilimeter Array), a radio telescope consisting of 66 high-precision antennas located in the Atacama desert, Chile, 5,000 meters above sea level, which has already served to detect two anomalies in the deep space of the solar system, which could well be the planets 10 and 11, although scientists have taken great care to call them in such a way.

A great p The laneta located in these distant regions of the solar system would reflect very little light , but instead could be detected by its millimeter wave emissions , which SOUL is able to capture.In fact, scientists from Mexico and Sweden, using ALMA, believe they have detected two large objects at different points in the Trans-Neptunian space.This information is found in two publications submitted to the scientific journal Astronomy&Astrophysics , and a co-author of both, astronomer Wouter Vleming, notes that the intention in publishing this possible discovery is to attract the attention of other observers who can help track these new objects.
