Beyond Pluto there are two super-earths: scientists believe

За Плутоном находятся две суперземли: считают ученыеTwo astronomers Raul and Karolos de La Fuente Marcos suggested that beyond Pluto there are two large super-earths.

Scientists believe that the clustering of the perihelion, i.e. the point of the orbit that is closest to the Sun, seven bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune is associated with the gravitational field of the object of the mysterious Planet X.

These findings, astronomers have done with computer modeling programs that allowed us to watch the dynamics of celestial bodies (using Monte Carlo). These studies allow scientists to propose the hypothesis that in this region of space are two huge body, one of which could be planet X.

They began to Express similar ideas in 2014. In addition, de La Fuente Marcos established the exact position of the aphelion, the most distant from the Sun point of these celestial objects. They are outside the orbit of Pluto. The surface of Planet X on the chemical and physical composition similar to Neptune.

This object makes a full rotation around the Sun for 15,000 years and moves in an elongated orbit.
