Planet X can throw Uranus and Neptune from the Solar system

Планета Х может выбросить Уран и Нептун из Солнечной системыThe predicted event to occur in seven billion years.

Planet X in the future can throw one or more gas giants, especially Uranus and Neptune, beyond the Solar system. Dedicated to research aimed at publication in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

The authors predicted event to occur in seven billion years when the Sun expands into a red giant. By this time mercury will be absorbed by the body, and the conditions on the Ground (if it does not destroy the star) will resemble Venus.

The mass of the Sun in this case will decrease twice, causing its gravitational influence on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will be reduced. These gas giants will gradually migrate towards the outskirts of the system where is planet X.

The interaction of Planet X and the four giants will lead to the fact that at least one of the gas objects will be thrown out of the Solar system. The more massive an external celestial body, the stronger its influence on the inner planets.

On the possible discovery beyond the orbit of Pluto Planet X scientists reported in mid-January 2016. A potential ninth planet of the system revolves around the Sun in an elongated orbit (and inclined relative to Earth’s orbit plane) with a period of 15 thousand years, and physico-chemical properties reminiscent of Neptune.
