Scientists eye new planet
Scientists in Japanese university believed an another planet up to two-thirds the size of the Earth was orbiting in the far reaches of the solar system. The researchers said that the theoretical calculations using computer simulations led them to conclude that it was only a matter of time before the mysterious “Planet X” was found. This planet is likely to be discovered in less than 10 years. The research, led by Kobe University professor Tadashi Mukai along with researcher Patryk Lykawka, will be published in the April issue of the US-based Astronomical Journal.
