Planet Tyche, the Ninth Planet in our Solar System?

Two American planetary astronomers believe that a planet four times the size of Jupiter found lurking beneath our Solar System.

John Matese and Daniel Whitmire of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette  started calling the ninth planet that is living in the far flung region away from the path of planetary system where sister planets live officially.  The duo discovered and named the ninth planet  Tyche.

This is not the first time claiming the existence of ninth planet Tyche.  They have already made an indication that the planet existed in the Solar System since 1999.  But no one listen and astronomers doubted their claim.

Tyche Goes Viral

The recent buzz of Planet Tyche goes viral in the internet which users are curious searching the identity of the planet.  Since Pluto was already out of the picture.  Here comes the planet that will save the word ‘ninth planet’ in the Solar System.

The Solar System where our planet Earth was one of the members was dropped to eight when Pluto was demoted to “dwarf planet” living the likes of asteroids.  Now, the discovery of the ninth planet was in a hotbed in the world of astronomy.  So much interesting, even in the minds of little children.

Planet Tyche, according to the two astronomers, was trooping in the far flung region which is called the Oort cloud, so much far away that we can never imagined.  The place was a diverse of excess comets that some originated in the area moving in unusual orbital patterns.  These patterns persisted after ten years of careful observation.  And became closer to the conclusion that a bigger planet existed.

The two astronomers are studying comets for years focus in the far flung region beyond Pluto.  They have found a great mysteries of the comet existence which some originated in the Oort cloud.  Until they diverted their attention that a giant planet is lurking within.

Two years from now, according to them, there will be a closer development as Tyche moves closer to reality based on gathered scientific data and statistics.  But many are anti-Tyche astronomers believe that the findings were not credible and unacceptable.

Planet Tyche Existed, So What

I have known Pluto as the ninth planet when I reached elementary school.  It could be an icy world because it was the farthest from the sun.  Nothing the light comes through the surface because it was the dark world of Hades ruled the underworld.  But if you count on Tyche if exist in the distance then it could be darkest of the whole world in the planetary system, and probably the lost and found icy world in the farthest edge unimagined by human beings.

Our planet Earth was 3rd in rank from the sun.  It has already a dark world and ice caps that deviates the sun’s heat. How about the Tyche conditions?  You cannot answer by just measuring your imagination the world far from the edge.  By just looking of the picture above showing the position of the planet Tyche in the Oort Cloud, your mind could be a blowing experience that amazing things happen beyond our world.

Let us wait for another update.
