The solar system may die because of planet X

Солнечная система может погибнуть из-за планеты ХAstronomers have published a shocking research results.

Astronomers from Spain and the UK have stated that planet X could destroy the Solar system.

This means that its gravitational influence may force some large object to leave the planetary system.

The findings of scientists were published on the website arXiv.org. The researchers used data on estimated parameters of planet X and conducted a computer simulation, which aimed to find out the influence of the planets on the movement of six extreme TRANS-Neptunian objects are celestial bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune, the semimajor axis exceeding 150 astronomical units and a perihelion — 30 astronomical units.

In the study, researchers found that the orbit of the dwarf planet candidate Sedna and 2012 VP113 will remain in stable condition over the next few hundred million years. The trajectories of the same TRANS-Neptunian objects VN112 2004, 2007 and 2013 TG422 RF98 that diameter reach 100-300 kilometers, unstable in time and a few tens of millions of years they can be thrown out Planet X from the Solar system.

Previously, scientists announced that a ninth planet should be in orbit with a period of about 15 thousand years and its mass is 10 times the mass of Earth. At the closest point the ninth planet approaches the Sun at a distance of seven times the radius of the orbit of Neptune — 200 astronomical units (astronomical unit is the distance from the sun to the Earth).

The far point of the orbit removed from our 600-1200 stars in astronomical units.
